Mission

The mission of the Cognitive Neuroscience Admitting Program (CNAP) is to train graduate students from diverse background in inter-disciplinary, innovative approaches to investigating brain function and translating discoveries into solutions for health and society. The program prepares the next generation of leaders in neuroscience research and education through a flexibly tailored training program involving 18 months of cognitive neuroscience coursework and laboratory rotations, followed by students selecting a department and two expert advisors for their thesis research.

Goals

• To confer broad and deep knowledge in, and critical appraisal of, core domains of cognitive neuroscience
• To train students in cutting-edge research methods for revealing neural mechanisms underlying cognition and behavior
• To prepare students for careers in brain science research, education, clinical application, and industry

Student Learning Outcomes

By the end of the program, students should be able to:

• Articulate a strong working knowledge of key questions and approaches in multiple sub-disciplines of cognitive neuroscience, as demonstrated in successful completion of coursework, exams, and journal article discussion
• Demonstrate deep expertise and methodological skills in in their chosen research domain, as evidenced by high-quality oral presentations and journal publications
