Overview

Over one hundred faculty from two campuses combine coursework and experiential learning in basic, clinical and translational science, providing an exceptionally broadly based education.

Laboratory Rotations

In their first year in the Neurobiology and Behavior Program from Columbia University, students engage in rotations in the labs of training faculty. Rotations are designed to help students choose a dissertation mentor, and broaden their practical and theoretical knowledge of neuroscience. Rotations are initiated by students according to individual interests and typically last one semester.
