Curriculum

The Department of Neurobiology and Behavior offers first year students an integrated set of lecture and lab courses on the fundamentals of neuroscience and offers advanced students specialized courses and seminars.

Our four core courses are taken in the first year:
Molecular Neuroscience (lecture and workshop)
Cellular Neuroscience (lecture and lab)
Systems Neuroscience
Behavioral Neuroscience

Further information on core and advanced courses can be found in the UCI General Catalogue.

Students in our graduate program are expected to complete each component of the curriculum satisfactorily and to maintain an overall GPA of 3.3. To graduate, they must also complete four advanced graduate courses, which may include offerings from other departments. Students also attend our regular departmental colloquium and participate in the department's NeuroBlitz series of student research presentations.
