The interdepartmental Neuroscience PhD program prepares students for careers in neuroscience research and education. The hallmark of the program is an integrated approach to study of the nervous system, using the multilevel analytical tools of molecular, cellular, systems, and/or behavioral biology, as well as quantitative approaches from the fields of mathematics, physics, and engineering. Students working at one or two analytical levels nevertheless learn to appreciate the methods and advantages of other levels of analysis. Emphasis is both on mechanisms of neural function and the biological basis of disease. Students select their research mentor from the list of all neuroscience faculty at UCLA.
Information on the undergraduate program in this discipline can be found in the undergraduate Neuroscience section.
