Highly motivated Georgetown College of Arts & Sciences students can complete the requirements for the M.S. in Integrative Neuroscience in one semester after completing the bachelor’s program.

The M.S. in Integrative Neuroscience<\/a> curriculum includes an extensive integrated overview of neuroscience, statistics, experimental design, and technical approaches.

Our graduates have a variety of career opportunities, including but not limited to the research industry, government agencies, education, and laboratories. We are dedicated to placing our students in their desired career field. Graduates can also continue their education with Ph.D. and M.D. programs.

The\u00a0master\u2019s program can be taken as an M.S. with Concentration in Biomedical Science Policy & Advocacy (BSPA)<\/a>, which\u00a0serves as a valuable introduction to the world of science policy in Washington, D.C., and beyond. This mode of the master\u2019s program provides students with essential training in the fundamentals of science policy and allows them to gain hands-on experience applying science policy in their specific field of study.
