Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia University
The Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior trains its students in the exploration of the nervous system at the level of molecules, cells, development, circuits and systems, theory, and behavior. The breadth of opportunity in our program is enhanced by the fact that faculty mentors in the program have appointments across several different university departments.
Coursework is expected to be completed in the first and second years of the PhD program. A rich variety of courses are available within the program. There are also graduate courses in the university in many subjects, including Psychology, Physics, Chemistry, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Electrical and Biomedical Engineering. Students may take courses offered in any Columbia department. Each student's education is tailored to fit his or her background and research interests.
