The breadth of researchprograms of the faculty encompasses all major areas of neuroscience and spansboth behavioral neuroscience and molecular neurobiology, ranging from genes to cells to human behavior and the neurobiology of disease. The Department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy offers research-intensive training leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The specific training program can be tailored to each student's research interests. All Ph.D. students receive a stipend and a tuition waiver. This program leads to a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Science.
Students graduating from the program are skilled researchers as well as accomplished teachers.
The framework of the behavioral neuroscience program is intended to provide the student with sufficientstructure to insure basic competency in this rapidly expanding field. The behavioral neuroscience program alsogrants the flexibility that permits a highly specialized training sequence. Individual programs can be designed with emphasis on research training in areas such as molecular neurobiology, neuroanatomy, developmental neurobiology, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neurogenetics, neuropharmacology, neurotoxicology, neurophysiology, physiological psychology, biological rhythms, and ethology. M.S.- Neuroscience Ph. The degree program emphasizes broad-based instruction in the medical sciences and prepares the graduate to be proficient in several related disciplines.
