The program provides training in the core foundations of neuroscience, ranging from cellular mechanisms to cognition and behavior, with a wide range of options for advanced training and specialization within specific subdisciplines. Students develop their critical thinking and research skills in preparation for a wide range of possible career avenues, either in academia or the public or private sectors.
The program trains students to possess three key abilities:
Integrative Neuroscience faculty members at the University of Nevada, Reno encourage the academic and professional development of students as independent researchers. Working closely with advisors and program directors, students develop a specialized, independent program of study in neuroscience research methodologies. The curriculum is designed to expose all students to core concepts and methods in the first years while allowing them to focus on research and training with specific sub-disciplines in subsequent years.
For the M.S. degree, students do not do research rotations and they generally enter the program with an initial faculty advisor and begin their thesis research in that lab. Students have the option of earning elective credits for additional research in the first year, or substituting these credits with elective courses. Students are required to complete a thesis on an independent research project, which must be defended orally before their thesis examination committee.
The M.S. in Integrative Neuroscience requires 30 graduate credits comprising of 24 credits of course work and 6 credits for thesis research.
