Welcome to the Neuroscience PhD Program!
The interdisciplinary Neuroscience Ph.D. program at George Mason University is a joint program between The College of Sciences (CoS), the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS), and the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason. It is administered by the College of Science.
The main objective of the Ph.D. program in Neuroscience is to train students to be research scientists in academia, industry, and government. The program provides students with an interdisciplinary academic environment for comprehensively developing their intellectual ability to successfully pursue a career in the neurosciences.
We encourage persons who would like to pursue an exciting career in cutting-edge neuroscience to join our academic community. To do so, submit an application as described in admissions.
If you're interested in behavior or cognitive neuroscience, you also may be interested in the biopsychology or cognitive psychology Ph.D. programs.
