Advising

The Neurosciences Program is committed to providing academic advising in support of graduate student scholarly and professional development. When most effective, this advising relationship entails collaborative and sustained engagement by both the adviser and the advisee.

Graduate students are active contributors to the advising relationship. They should proactively seek academic and professional guidance and take responsibility for informing themselves of policies and degree requirements for the Neurosciences MS program.

Academic progress and student completion of program requirements and milestones are monitored by the program co-directors and staff, and may be discussed by faculty at meetings devoted to assessing graduate student progress.
