Brain, Cognitive, and Developmental Sciences

A student-centric, flexible plan for students conducting research in a variety of disciplines in Psychology and Neuroscience.

Our approach

  • Graduate students work closely with faculty on all aspects of the research process from conception to fruition
  • Students in the program use cutting-edge methodological approaches such as virtual environments, adaptive interfaces, psychophysiological recording technologies, behavioral tracking, and in vivo monitoring and manipulation of brain circuitry using animal models
  • In line with Miami's teacher-scholar model, graduate students are provided extensive opportunities to teach and mentor undergraduate students
  • Graduate students play an important role in nurturing and growing our vibrant and multicultural departmental community
  • Each student chooses a plan of study appropriate for their research and long-term goals
  • With the personal training received through our program, students have been very successful in finding postdoctoral opportunities, academic positions, and industry positions
