Overview

As part of a larger, vibrant neuroscience community, trainees have access to state-of-the-art technologies and facilities, as well as leaders in diverse fields that are located across campus. The department also has a wide range of research opportunities for undergraduates and medical students.

A graduate student’s stipend and health, dental, and vision insurance are paid by the graduate program during their first year, and by the student’s advisor in subsequent years. Students may also obtain financial support through competitive training grants and fellowships.

Education

Graduates from the Neurobiology program at University of Utah should be as strong in biochemical knowledge, cellular and organismal physiology and formal statistics as graduates of any program in biological sciences.

With this in mind, a basic Neuroscience Program Core Curriculum has been designed for all entering students, most of which should be completed with a grade of B- or better within two years as a prelude to doctoral candidacy. Students with deficiencies in certain academic areas may be required to take undergraduate courses. Credit hours are indicated in parenthesis.
