MU?s Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program offers talented graduate students a chance to train for a career in one of the most exciting fields of modern science. Most of our students pursue research and teaching careers in basic neuroscience departments at prestigious research universities. Others opt for challenging and rewarding positions in applied fields, such as drug research or neurodiagnostic technology. Whatever their ultimate goals, the graduate neuroscientists who are trained at MU gain a solid understanding of the nervous system and of the experimental methods by which this knowledge is acquired.
