Graduate Courses
The department offers courses of study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. In general, the department's Ph.D. candidates are admitted through the interdepartmental graduate programs in Neuroscience or Molecular Biology. Our faculty participate extensively in the courses offered by these two graduate programs and, in addition, we offer the specialized graduate courses described below.
