We prepare our students for the wide range of approaches and perspectives found in modern neuroscience. Most of our Molecular and Systems Neuroscience (MSN) students will finish with a double major, receiving Ph.D.s in both Psychological and Brain Sciences and Neuroscience.

We aim for our graduates to be competent and confident in both molecular and systems neuroscience because the most exciting advances in neuroscience will come at the intersection of these approaches. On the practical side, this training also prepares our graduates for careers in academia, industry, government, as well as less traditional paths such as publishing, patent law, and other professions. Studying neuroscience PBS allows you to develop a well-grounded understanding of neuroscience mechanisms and concepts as broadly applied to human psychology.
