The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota includes the study of topics such as molecular, cellular, systems, developmental, and computational neuroscience and behavioral neurobiology, which lead to the Ph.D. degree. Coursework provides students with a solid foundation in each of the major areas of neuroscience, plus the opportunity to do cutting edge research with world famous neuroscientists. Our doctoral program offers students more than 100 diverse and highly productive faculty who conduct well-funded research that covers the entire spectrum of neuroscience from the molecular biology of ion channels to the highly complex processes that underlie human cognition. In an environment that thrives on collaboration, the opportunities for students to partake in multidisciplinary research are abound. Our graduate students come from a variety of backgrounds and have diverse scientific interests.
