Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences Graduate Interdisciplinary Studies Program

The Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences (MCIN) program is a 1-year graduate Ph.D. student admission and rotation program. During the year in the program, students take a set of core courses and complete three laboratory rotations. At the end of the program, they select a faculty mentor and transfer to a participating degree-granting department to complete their Ph.D. requirements. The degree-granting departments are Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Biology; Biomedical Sciences; Chemical and Biological Engineering; Computer Science; Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences; Health and Exercise Science; Human Development and Family Studies; Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology; Occupational Therapy; and Psychology. The program has been named one of CSU's Programs of Research and Scholarly Excellence.

Graduate Certificates require the submission of the official transcript that shows your bachelor’s degree awarded. One official transcript issued by the institution where the bachelor’s degree was earned is required. If the transcript does not show the date the degree was awarded, a diploma is required. All records submitted must be in the native language - any credentials written in languages other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Colorado State University transcripts are not required. U.S. degrees must be from a regionally accredited institution to qualify for CSU graduate admission (graduate certificate or degree program).
