Emory University - Program in Neuroscience - Overview

Neuroscience (NS) at Emory University

The graduate program in Neuroscience (NS) at Emory University is an interdisciplinary program, spanning many departments and priding itself on a collaborative atmosphere encouraging excellence. Our faculty and students have a broad scope of research interests within neuroscience, ranging from molecular to cellular to behavioral neuroscience.

Neuroscience research at Emory has grown dramatically in the last decade. The broad spectrum of research expertise in cellular, molecular, behavioral, developmental, and systems neuroscience provides our students a unique environment in which to pursue their graduate education. The program includes over 120 neuroscientists drawn from 22 University and Medical School departments, the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, as well as collaborators from the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

A cornerstone of the Emory Neuroscience program is the incredible sense of academic community that our participants enjoy. Our program was ranked #1 for overall student satisfaction in the National Doctoral Program Survey, in part due to the high level of interaction between faculty and students and a mentoring system which creates a supportive atmosphere for success.
