Courses
The standard courses for the one-year program (30 credits) are outlined below. MS in Integrative Neuroscience students are required to complete the required core courses (19 credits), which are supplemented by elective courses (11 credits). Elective courses can be chosen to complement the core curriculum and the research internship, and can be selected from other GUMC departments. If there is a course of particular interest to a student that does not appear on the curriculum elective list, he/she can submit a request to the Program Director or Program Coordinator to designate the course as an approved elective. The list of required core courses and the pre-approved GUMC electives (credits, semester offered) are shown below.
Our program charges a full-time, per-semester flat rate for students taking 12 credits or more in a semester, and a part-time, per-credit rate for students taking fewer than 12 credits.

Elective Courses
For elective credits, graduate students can select courses offered at GUMC and the College numbered 4000 & above. Electives must be related to your field of study.
Discuss your course options with the Program Director (Kathy Maguire-Zeiss) or the Program Coordinator (Katie VanHouton) before registering for electives.
Some electives may require the approval of the course director and the add/drop form.
