Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience Emphasis
This program and emphasis area is for students who want training in research and teaching, with an eye toward the integration of psychology and neuroscience. This training can be used in a future career that includes some combination of academic research, teaching, and/or application (e.g., neuroimaging or consulting). This is not the program for a career in Clinical Neuropsychology which requires a degree in clinical psychology and licensure. Clinical Neuropsychology is a track within the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program.
