Neuroscience Certificate
The Certificate Program in Neuroscience at Auburn University is tailored for MS/PhD students who have a keen interest in brain-related sciences but are primarily focused on a different subject area. To earn the certificate, students must complete 12 credit hours from various departments and colleges. At least one elective must be taken outside the student’s home department, and all courses must be completed with a “B” average or higher. Courses are taught by distinguished research faculty from multiple departments and schools/colleges, preparing the next generation of neuroscientists.
