Biomedical Sciences - Neurosciences - M.S. and Ph.D. Download to print

Graduate study in the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biomedical Sciences–Neurosciences is interdisciplinary, primarily involving  faculty in biological sciences, psychology and speech pathology and audiology at Kent State University and faculty in anatomy, neurobiology and pharmacology at NEOMED. Students complete a common core of courses in morphology, physiology and the chemistry of the nervous system.
 

M.S.: Official transcript(s), 3.0 GPA, GRE, goal statement and three letters of recommendation. The M.S. also requires a bachelor's degree with preparation adequate to perform graduate work in the desired field. This commonly includes two years of chemistry, one year of mathematics, one year of physics and courses in anthropology, biology and psychology as appropriate to the field. Admission with deficiencies may be accorded, but these must be made up during the first two years of graduate study.

Ph.D.: Admission to the Ph.D. also requires either completion of the M.S. or direct matriculation to the doctoral program following completion of no less than 20 hours of graduate coursework (including the core) and will be accorded upon the recommendation of the student’s guidance committee and the school director.
