研究生 Certificate in Neuroscience

Gain a thorough introduction to an interdisciplinary field addressing neural and brain function at multiple levels with the 研究生 Certificate in Neuroscience in 威尼斯赌场网站’s College of Liberal 艺术. 

This 15-credit graduate certificate is tailored to provide current doctoral students in programs outside of the Psychology and Neuroscience Department with core experience in specific areas of neuroscience, 包括行为, 细胞, molecular and systems neuroscience. Students also gain an understanding of biological, clinical and psychological approaches to understanding the nervous system. 

The Neuroscience Certificate (研究生) is intended for any Temple students interested in adding highly specialized training and research in the field of neuroscience to their professional résumé. 

PhD Specialization in Neuroscience vs. 研究生 Certificate in Neuroscience

For current doctoral students in the Psychology and Neuroscience Department, completion of the Neuroscience 研究生 Certificate 课程work results in a specialization in neuroscience, and the resulting transcript will reflect a PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience. 

Any doctoral student outside of Psychology (and also Biology, Physical Therapy and Pharmacology), who completes the Neuroscience Certificate (研究生) 课程work will receive a PhD in their own discipline, along with the certificate.
