The Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP) at UM is a dynamic program focused on current neuroscience concepts and multidisciplinary techniques to train & grant students the Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience. Faculty available to mentor students come from various UM Departments and specialize in a variety of areas including neurochemistry, neuromolecular dynamics and drug design, cellular neurobiology and physiology, behavioral neuroscience, biophysics, and neurobiology of disease.

Doctoral degree training is typically completed within four or five years and consists of general course work, research rotations and selection of the dissertation laboratory in the first year; coursework in the concentration area & research in the second year; comprehensive qualifying exams & research in the third year; concluding with research and dissertation defense in the final year(s).

Program curriculum is flexible and coursework is completed during the first two years of the doctoral program to allow for maximum time spent working on research in the student’s selected advisor’s laboratory.
