神经科学博士学位课程的主要目标是为学生提供有关细胞，认知和行为神经科学的强大教育和研究基础。学生将运用神经科学中的关键概念来理解整个生命过程中正常，无序的感觉，运动，认知，语言和交流过程。该目标将通过一组神经科学课程，高级选修课和实验室经验来实现。希望神经科学博士课程的学生将自己与重点领域保持一致。当前，这些包括翻译神经科学，教育神经科学和寿命神经科学。
The primary goal of the doctoral program in neuroscinece is to provide students with a strong educational and research foundation in cellular, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. Students will apply critical concepts in neuroscience to understanding normal and disordered processes of sensation, movement, cognition, language and communication across the lifespan. This goal will be accomplished through a core set of neuroscience courses, advanced electives and laboratory experiences.<br>Students in the neuroscience doctoral program are expected to align themselves with a focus area. Currently, these include Translational Neuroscience, Educational Neuroscience, and Lifespan Neuroscience.
