All students must meet the Requirements for the Master's Degree

Overview

The Neuroscience Graduate Program awards M.S. degrees only to students who have matriculated into the Ph.D. program but whose academic and research progress is deemed by their advisory committee to be suitable for a M.S. rather than a Ph.D. degree, or to students requesting to leave the program prior to completion of the Ph.D. degree. In either case, terminal M.S. degrees are not automatically offered to students leaving the program prematurely. Students must be recommended for the M.S. degree by their advisory committee and are required to complete the minimum course and research requirements for the M.S. as defined by the Graduate College and the Neuroscience Graduate Program.
