Certificate in Neuroscience

The Certificate in Neuroscience will provide students the opportunity to purse the many neuroscience related disciplines: brain imaging, molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, bio-engineering, clinical neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, and neuropsychology. The certificate will prepare students to work in neuroscience related jobs and disciplines, both in research and industry. These areas would include but are not limited to medicine, neuro-rehabilitation, occupational therapy, clinical therapists, physical therapy, forensics, biotechnology industry, hospitals, science writing and science education.  

Requirements

Twelve credit hours are required for completion of the certificate. At least 6 hours must be at the 3000-level or above. A maximum of 6 hours from a department may be applied to the 12 hour requirement. All grades must be "S" or "C-" or better.  Grades of "U" or "D+" or below will not be accepted. A maximum of 3 hours from problems/readings and/or internship sections may be applied and the student must demonstrate that the experiential learning was related to neuroscience. All certificate coursework must be completed at the University of Missouri-Columbia. 

A certificate consists of at least 12 credits; at least 12 credits must be taken in MU course work.
