Master of Science in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity
Explore neural and brain function in a groundbreaking, rapidly growing field with the Master of Science in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity 坦普尔文理学院. This 30-credit graduate degree provides highly advanced training and faculty-mentored research with practical applications in careers ranging from economics to healthcare and public policy.
的 innovative master's program was developed by faculty in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience in the College of Liberal 艺术 and the Physical 的rapy and Kinesiology departments in the College of Public Health. 的 aim of the program is to help qualified students gain core expertise in specific areas of neuroscience—including behavioral, 细胞, 分子与系统.
As a 神经科学:系统、行为和可塑性 student, you can choose from one of the three following areas of study.
- 行为神经科学
- 认知神经科学
- 运动神经科学与康复
神经科学硕士的毕业生将拥有
- built core knowledge in specific areas of neuroscience;
- created and undertaken hypothesis-based research projects;
- developed a general professional competence in oral and written expression as well as in the critical analysis of research articles;
- gained independence in communicating, teaching and thinking;
- learned to effectively communicate and teach neuroscience; and
- trained in a variety of techniques and approaches to studying the nervous system.
硕士项目
Students are required to work on a master’s project for both semesters in the second year of the 神经科学:系统、行为和可塑性 program. 这取决于你的职业目标, students may opt to engage either in a laboratory-based research project or in a non-laboratory project.
Students motivated to join doctoral programs or interested in research positions will likely gain the requisite experience by working independently on a neuroscientific investigation under the supervision of a faculty member who maintains an active neuroscience research program. 的 purpose of the project is to train students in specific neuroscientific techniques, train them to develop scientific and analytical approaches to a problem, 制定明确的研究问题, 进行实验, 分析和解释数据.
Students who do not pursue bench-level research after earning their degree, who are interested in non-research careers such as counseling, 公共政策和/或研究管理, may engage in a non-laboratory project of a similar scope. This may include conducting a literature review and presentation on a specific topic, 为资助机构起草工作范围, or preparing a consulting proposal for a prospective client.
