The Master of Science in Neuroscience is a two-year, research-intensive program designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of neuroscience and an appreciation for emerging concepts and related methodologies. At Loyola University Chicago, we take an intra-departmental and interdisciplinary approach to learning, giving students a broad choice of mentors and neuroscience-related research projects to help advance your career. Students will acquire the knowledge and confidence to develop novel neuroscience questions, address them with rational and reproducible experimental design, and succeed in challenging academic and industry environments.

Curriculum

The Master of Science in Neuroscience requires 30 credit hours of coursework and a master's thesis.
