Graduate Students

Graduate degrees in The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) encompass all aspects of brain function and behavior with foci on human neural function and basic science neurobiology. Our programs focus on understanding the structure and function of the brain in health and disease, the nature of thinking and interacting, the function of sensory systems, the intricacies of child development and cognitive aging, the relation between human cognition and machine learning and intelligence, and the mechanisms of speech and hearing and their disruption.

Graduate programs are organized into Master’s and Doctoral degrees. Master’s programs are non-thesis based or clinically based. Doctoral degrees are dissertation-based programs (e.g. PhD) or clinically based (e.g. AuD).

If you have questions about our degree plans, please contact the BBS Graduate Academic Support Coordinators or Associate Dean. Direct questions about other graduate BBS activities to the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Dr. Robert Stillman.
