| Elective Courses |
The students must also meet the minimum course credit requirements of the Graduate School by taking a personalized selection of elective seminar and research courses. Only one elective course is required by the program, but students are encouraged to pursue all those electives directly relevant to their development as a neuroscientist. Students are encouraged to select their required elective from the strongly recommended group on the elective list but any other science courses that are considered important for the student's formation in Neuroscience research can be credited as an elective after approval by the DGS of the Neuroscience Program. As new courses by the Neuroscience faculty are added to the curriculum this list will be updated.
*Note that some of these courses are not offered every year. It is recommended that students contact the Director of Graduate Studies to get an updated list of electives when comes the time to enroll or to enroll in non-IBS courses.
