Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Neuroscience] From Oregon Health & Science University

Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP) at Oregon Health & Science University

The curriculum is flexible and courses are largely completed in the first year, permitting students to focus on the essence of graduate training -- independent research in a mentor's laboratory -- as soon as possible.

Students in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at OHSU arrive in Portland between July and September; early arrivals take advantage of the delightful Portland summer and can carry out one or more laboratory rotations.

In September, attendance at the annual NGP Retreat is highly recommended, as this event serves as an introduction to the program for first-year students. The retreat is held away from Portland (recently at Timberline Lodge) and features two days of talks, workshops, and fun.
