The FSU Program in Neuroscience promotes interdisciplinary research into neural processes and functions of the nervous system. By studying the biological mechanisms underlying behavior, sensation, motivation, neurological disorders and more, graduates are well-equipped to pursue a wide range of research.

The doctoral program provides elite and well-rounded training that prepares graduates for a variety of careers in the field. Upon entrance to the program, students begin conducting research in the laboratory of their chosen major professor to develop research questions geared towards their dissertations.

Undergraduates can study neuroscience through two different major programs of study: the cell and molecular neuroscience major, associated with FSU’s Department of Biological Science, and the behavioral neuroscience major, associated with FSU’s Department of Psychology. Both offer essential foundational knowledge for future neuroscience research and education.
