Program Description: The Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (INP) is a first year graduate program that brings together more than 70 faculty from the Departments of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Cognitive Sciences, Developmental and Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Behavior, and Pharmacology. INP faculty have broad research interests in Behavioral Neuroscience, Brain Aging, Developmental Neurobiology, Genetics, Learning and Memory, Molecular Neurobiology, Neural Injury/Disorders/Repair, Neuropharmacology, Plasticity, and Sensation and Perception. Neuroscience as a discipline requires scientists to have a detailed understanding of at least one field, and a broad understanding of many other fields. INP provides breadth early on, followed by specialization in years 2-5 of predoctoral training.
The INP organizes and coordinates a core curriculum that provides a foundation in Neuroscience; this forms the basis of future specialized instruction in a participating departmental degree-granting program. This curriculum includes course work and laboratory rotations. After successfully completing the core curriculum, students select an advisor from the participating faculty and then are guaranteed automatic admission to the Ph.D.-granting program in their advisor's home department. In this way, the INP serves not as a degree-granting program, but as a "gateway" to further graduate training.
