We are a collegial and interactive group that performs research across the breadth of the neuroscience field. Neuroscience graduate students on this campus form a cohesive group that promotes interactions among the faculty, making the Neuroscience Graduate Program the nexus of the neuroscience community at U of M. A PhD in Neuroscience provides tremendous flexibility in choosing one’s career path. Our program captures the excitement and interaction intrinsic to the field of neuroscience. The Neuroscience Graduate Program includes more than 150 faculty members representing more than 20 basic and clinical science departments in the the Medical School, the College of Literature, Arts, and Sciences, the Dental School, the School of Kinesiology, and the College of Engineering.
