Admissions<\/h3>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Students must be\u00a0EITHER:<\/strong>
    (a)<\/strong>\u00a0accepted into the neuroscience undergraduate major\u00a0OR<\/strong>
    (b)<\/strong>\u00a0if in another major, have completed minimum neuroscience coursework, including
    \u2013 PSYCH 107 or BIOL 230: Statistics
    \u2013 PSYCH 213W (or comparable course with approval of Director): Experimental Psychology
    \u2013 PSYCH 243: Behavioral Neuroscience
    \u2013 BIOL 373: Neurobiology
    \u2013 plus\u00a0two<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0200 or 300 level courses from the\u00a0    list of Neuroscience Majors required or elective courses\u00a0<\/a>
    \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0A grade of B or better must be earned in ALL these courses for consideration.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Students must be in\u00a0good academic standing<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0).<\/li>\n
  3. Students must be\u00a0actively involved in research with a recommendation from their current research mentor<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0for the dual program.<\/li>\n
  4. Students should\u00a0identify who they would like to work with for their graduate thesis<\/em><\/strong>, either continuing with their current mentor or identifying a new mentor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Interested students should apply as follows:<\/h4>\n

    Log into the\u00a0Accelerated Degrees Online Application System<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0using your\u00a0QC username and password<\/strong>\u00a0(CAMS account credentials<\/a>, not CUNYfirst<\/em>) to submit an application. In the section labeled \u201cName of Reference\u201d enter the name of the mentor you would like to work with for your graduate thesis. Note: The recommendation letter cannot be uploaded but needs to be sent\u00a0by your mentor\u00a0directly to the MA Neuroscience Director Dr. Kerstin Unger (kerstin.unger@qc.cuny.edu<\/a>)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    You must be actively involved in research and\u00a0your research mentor must send a letter of recommendation identifying why you would be an appropriate and good candidate for the program. The letter should be sent by your mentor directly to\u00a0Kerstin.Unger@qc.cuny.edu<\/a>. If you plan to do your MA work with a different mentor, that mentor should send an email acknowledging that they are able to take you into their lab when you start the MA program.<\/p>\n

    Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis (ie., no deadline), your current mentor and proposed mentor will be contacted and a decision will be made whether to accept you into the program or not. If accepted,\u00a0Kerstin Unger\u00a0<\/a>(MA Neuroscience Director) will advise you moving forward with regard to your MA work.<\/p>\n

    Important Notices<\/h4>\n

    LIMITED SLOTS<\/strong>: Students should be aware that we have only limited slots available for this program. The number of slots will vary and depends upon current enrollment in the Behavioral Neuroscience MA program and course availability and capacities. Meeting the requirements above is necessary to be\u00a0considered<\/em>\u00a0but does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Among those that meet the requirements above, we will evaluate which candidates are the best match for the program. We will consider factors such as the quality of research experience, both completed so far as an undergraduate, and proposed research for future MA work. While part of this matching evaluation is based on the applicant, part of it is also based on the program, including availability of research opportunities and distribution of students across faculty to support a range of research activities. We encourage novel, interdisciplinary research experience and plans. There are no appeals to admission decisions to the Neuroscience MA accelerated program. \u00a0Students not accepted into the program but still interested in the MA in Behavioral Neuroscience are encouraged to apply through the traditional route. While there is no deadline for submitting an application to the accelerated program, we will evaluate applications and offer acceptance into the program on a periodic basis as applications accumulate.<\/p>\n

    TIMING:<\/strong>\u00a0(i) students should apply and be accepted into this program ideally\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0registration begins in Spring for Fall classes. If a student applies after and classed are filled\/closed, they will not be able to take the courses they would like, even if accepted into the program. (ii) though we will accept and review applications at any time, there is a limit on how many students the Neuroscience MA program can maximally accommodate. For students outside this program, we accept applications once a year (deadline April 1st). Current undergraduate neuroscience students interested in this program are advised to submit their application\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0the general deadline for outside applicants to ensure they get priority for limited program slots that are available.<\/p>\n
