Join us for a Virtual Info Session
Join us on Tuesday, October 28, at 10:30 am EST to learn about the Neuroscience Graduate Program at Brown University and the Brown-NIH Partnership Program and speak to our faculty and students.
Admissions
People may apply to either the Neuroscience Graduate Program at Brown University or the Brown-NIH Partnership Program or both. Applicants to the Neuroscience Graduate Program or the Graduate Partnership Program are expected to have an undergraduate degree in a component discipline of neuroscience such as biology, psychology, neurobiology, chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, engineering, or computer science. The Neuroscience Graduate Program and Graduate Partnership Program do not have any specific course requirements for successful admission. Students who join either program take courses at Brown to fill gaps in their scientific knowledge. More information about programs at Brown University designed to enhance diversity in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences can be found on the BioMed Graduate Studies website.
Admissions
Candidates interested in applying for the Brown-NIH Graduate Partnership Program must complete an online application at the NIH Graduate Partnership Program website.
Students will receive a competitive stipend, tuition, health insurance, and health services fee.
