Goals & Experiences<\/h3>\n
\n

Capstone Experiences<\/h4>\n

Integral to this MA program is a required research thesis serving as the culmination of a minimum of one year of research conducted in the lab of a faculty mentor. The thesis is evaluated by a three-person faculty committee. Students are also required to give an oral presentation on the thesis to this faculty committee.<\/p>\n

The Learning Goals for MABN Students<\/h4>\n

(1) Master core and quantitative courses in behavioral neuroscience at a graduate level<\/p>\n

(2) Conduct behavioral neuroscience research at the level of independent investigator<\/p>\n

(3) Communicate information about behavioral neuroscience at a level adequate for teaching of the discipline<\/p>\n

The purpose of this program is to allow promising Masters graduate students to engage in intensive, research-based study within the field of Behavioral Neuroscience.<\/p>\n

The Goals of the Program<\/h4>\n

(1)\u00a0 To provide graduates of the program with enhanced chances of being admitted into highly-competitive Doctoral Training Programs in Behavioral Neuroscience and other Neuroscience-related fields.<\/p>\n

(2)\u00a0 To enhance the chances that graduates of the program will gain employment within the private sector as Research Assistants\/Associates trained in the growing field of Neuroscience and Neuroscience-related fields.<\/p>\n
