*Majors in the life sciences (psychology, biology, or chemistry) are particularly encouraged to apply, but other degrees will be given full consideration with appropriate course work. Academic preparation and performance in the life sciences (e.g., experimental psychology and behavioral neuroscience; cell and systems biology; chemistry) are given high priority in considering candidates for admission. Note that the candidate's entire application package will be reviewed as a comprehensive and holistic representation of the likelihood for success in graduate studies; no one part of the application materials is deemed "most important".
Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Financial support is typically provided to all students in good standing.
