The graduate program in
the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences is designed to prepare individuals
to do original research and to teach. BCS graduate students gain expertise
in specific research areas and become well educated in the broader fields
of brain or cognitive science. Students specialize in molecular and cellular
neuroscience, systems neuroscience, cognitive science, computation, or in
a fifth track called cognitive neuroscience for students whose research interests
encompass more than one discipline.

The Department of Biology
graduate program is designed to teach students the research and communications
skills required for a successful career as an independent scientist. The majority
of Biology graduates go on to careers in universities, research institutions,
or the biotechnology industry, and a growing number choose areas such as consulting,
science writing, technology transfer, and patent law. The department’s
efforts in neurobiology are geared toward understanding how the remarkable
diversity in neuronal cell types and their connections underlie learning and
memory.
