The program is designed to enhance students\u2019 chances of being admitted into highly-competitive doctoral training programs in Behavioral Neuroscience and other Neuroscience-related fields, and to increase chances of employment within the private sector as Research Assistants\/Associates trained in Neuroscience and Neuroscience-related fields. Students matriculated into this program also contribute to Neuroscience-related research within the Psychology department and help facilitate interactions between the diverse Neuroscience laboratories from various Departments (e.g., Psychology, Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry\/Biochemistry and Anthropology) across the campus.<\/p>\n The curriculum provides a rigorous overview of neuroscience, including four foundational courses: Molecular Neuroscience (PSYCH 709.1), Systems Neuroscience (PSYCH 709.2), Cognitive Neuroscience (PSYCH 709.3), and Behavioral Neuroscience (PSYCH 709.4). A two-semester quantitative methods sequence provides strong training in quantitative and pragmatic aspects of research (PSYCH 704.1 & 704.2).\u00a0Students learn about neuroscience as a profession in both coursework and research activities: Ethics in Psychology (PSYCH 771.1), Scientific Talks\/Colloquium (PSYCH 772.2), Thesis Seminar (scientific writing and communication, PSYCH 772.3). Flexible electives (9 credits) allow students to pursue non-traditional careers in neuroscience, for example, combining neuroscience and law, neuroscience and education, etc.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/ga\/applying\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Apply Now!” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”link_option_url” _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” text_text_color=”#404040″ text_line_height=”0.8em” link_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” link_text_color=”#0055aa” link_line_height=”0.5em” header_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_3_text_color=”#333333″ header_4_font=”Roboto Condensed|300|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#333333″ header_4_font_size=”20px” header_5_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” header_5_text_color=”#333333″ header_6_font=”|600|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#333333″ custom_margin=”|||-10px|false|false” link_option_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjExMjYwIiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Kerstin Unger<\/a>,\u00a0Director<\/em><\/p>\n
