Program Description: The University of Arizona offers a Ph.D. through the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience. The Program, administered by the Committee on Neuroscience, is designed to provide students with the knowledge and tools that they will need to embark on careers as educators and researchers in the field of neuroscience. Students participate in designing their own individually tailored programs that provide a thorough base of knowledge in the many facets of neuroscience as well as depth in chosen areas of specialization, and that enhance their abilities to think creatively and express themselves clearly. Because of the breadth of expertise represented by the faculty, students have access to educational and research training opportunities in areas ranging through molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, cognitive, theoretical, and clinical neuroscience.
