Thank you for your interest in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota. We are a large, multidisciplinary program consisting of over 125 faculty members from all parts of the University of Minnesota, 30 departments from 10 colleges. The multidisciplinary nature of our Ph.D. program is one of its most significant.
Graduates of the program will be prepared for study in one of the many recently developed graduate Cognitive Science programs (including the Ph.D. offered at the Center for Cognitive Science at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities) as well as graduate study in related programs such as cognition, brain and behavior, cognitive neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and human-computer.
Graduates of the minor program will be prepared for study in one of the many recently developed graduate Cognitive Science programs (including the Ph.D. offered at the Center for Cognitive Science at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities) as well as graduate study in related programs such as cognition, brain, and behavior, cognitive neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and human-computer.
Sub-disciplines of cognitive science include: cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, or neuroscience. Curriculums include subjects such as neuroscience and behaviour, experimental molecular neurobiology, probability and causality in human cognition, psycholinguistics, music perception, behaviour-based robotics, and more.
The Ph.D. program trains cognitive scientists to conduct research integrating methodologies and content knowledge from a variety of approaches. In order to ensure an interdisciplinary approach, each student has two coadvisers from the cognitive science graduate faculty, each representing a different discipline from within the cognitive sciences.
