Please include this information in your application statement.<\/p>\n The Masters Program in Behavioral Neuroscience (MABN) requires completion of a thesis based on original research in a laboratory at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ or another accredited research institution, which is supervised by the laboratory head. Choosing a research mentor who is not affiliated with the\u00a0MABN program<\/a>\u00a0is possible but requires approval of the MABN program director (Kerstin Unger<\/a>). If you know which lab(s) you are interested in, please contact faculty to find out if they are accepting students into their labs and if you would be able to meet with them to talk more about potentially joining their lab. Include this information in your application. We do not require prearranged commitments from faculty research advisors at the time of your application, but we strongly encourage it. Any information you can provide about your research interests and communication with faculty contributes to admissions decisions.<\/p>\n Applications for the Masters Program in Behavioral Neuroscience will be reviewed in the Spring semester of a given year for acceptance in the Fall semester of the same year. Applications are available through the Graduate Admissions Office at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ and are also downloadable from the link below. The annual deadline for admissions is April 1<\/span>.<\/p>\n Apply Now!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/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=”4.19.5″ _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” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Kerstin Unger<\/a>,\u00a0Director<\/em><\/p>\n
