We provide broad neuroscience training across the spectrum of the field, focusing on fundamentals and advanced research training with deep interactions between students and faculty from multiple disciplines. Because the Ph.D. in Neuroscience pairs well with other disciplines, the majority of degree candidates pursue a double major for the degree. Conducting research in two domains can give you an advantage when seeking professional advancement.

Neuroscience pairs well with psychology, cognitive science, biology, medical sciences, vision science, and others. Your requirements can be coordinated for the two programs. In the end, you write one dissertation, and are evaluated in both domains.

When applying to Neuroscience as a double major recruit, you must be vetted by both of the programs you select and be admitted to both. You may receive financial support from both programs, too, depending on availability.

At the end, you will be awarded a Ph.D. in two disciplines. The programs are highly aligned presenting the opportunity to obtain training in both disciplines. This is a unique feature of interdisciplinary training at Indiana University. Our goal is to help you develop into tomorrow's leaders in the field of neuroscience.
