Program Description: In the fall of the 2000, the Graduate Program of Neurosciences in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and the Graduate Program in Behavioral and Neural Sciences at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neurosciences of Rutgers University in Newark joined to create a single program. The new program is part of the newly created Graduate Center in Newark and is called "The Rutgers/UMDNJ Integrative Neuroscience Program" (INS). The INS Graduate Program grants a joint doctoral degree in Integrative Neuroscience from both UMDNJ and Rutgers.
The graduate program emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of Neuroscience and provides a curriculum that stresses the basic tenets and underpinnings of this modern discipline.
The graduate program
emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of Neuroscience and provides rigorous understanding of basic tenets and underpinnings of this modern discipline. The program offers specific research training in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroinformatics, Molecular, Cellular and Systems Neuroscience. The most up-to-date
techniques of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology, neuropharmacology, neurochemistry, molecular neurobiology, psychiatric genetics, neuropsychology, neuroimaging, computational modeling and behavioral analysis are available in state-of-the-art research facilities. Research studies can emphasize either human, animal or computational approaches.
Anyone applying to the UMDNJ or Rutgers M.D./Ph.D. programs will also automatically have access to the joint program for the Ph.D. portion of their training.
