4+1 Master of Science in Neuroscience & Behavior

The neuroscience & behavior (NSB) graduate program at UMass Amherst is one of eight graduate programs in the life sciences and part of a larger neurosciences community at the university. NSB brings together faculty members from various departments to provide exciting, cutting-edge research training. The program spans several areas of research including: neuroendocrinology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, animal behavior and learning, neural and behavioral development, and sensorimotor, cognitive, and computational neuroscience. You’ll benefit from state-of-the-art facilities for neural and behavioral studies at all levels of investigation, from molecules to whole organisms, and you’ll gain immediate hands-on experience by carrying out research starting in your first year of graduate training.
