Overview

Key Features

In your personal statement, it is important that you indicate the faculty member(s) with whom you would like to work. The research interests of the core faculty may be found on the Faculty page.

All Ph.D. students are full-time with courses offered only during the day. The coursework provides fundamentals of the Behavioral Neuroscience program from University of Missouri–St. Louis that allow the student to do further self-study and development in the research topic of interest to the student. Most students earn an M.A. as they work toward the Ph.D. In that case, both an empirical M.A. research thesis and an empirical Ph.D. research dissertation are required. For a student entering with an M.A., coursework and the MA thesis will be considered on an individual basis.
