The administrative offices for the interdisciplinary
neuroscience program are in Malott Hall in Lawrence and at the Smith Center
in Kansas City. Students should send all application materials to
The University of Kansas
Neuroscience Graduate Program, Malott Hall
1251 Wescoe Hall Dr., Room 5064
Lawrence, KS 66045-7582
All application materials are reviewed by faculty committees
on the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses. Students should have B.A. or B.S.
degrees in one of the following fields: anthropology, behavioral sciences (psychology,
human development), biology, chemistry, engineering, neuroscience, or pharmacology.
Preference is given to students who have completed courses in introductory biology
and at least one course in advanced biology topics such as biochemistry, physiology,
microbiology, molecular biology, and courses in introductory and organic chemistry
or in calculus and physics. The graduate curriculum requires background knowledge
in these fields. Students who do not have sufficient training will be asked
to complete the appropriate courses before being admitted. The program requires
submission of the standard GRE scores with all applications, three letters of
recommendation, and an essay by the applicant about his or her career goals,
i.e. why he or she wishes to become a neuroscientist. Selection of graduate
students is based on grade-point average, Graduate Record Examination scores,
letters of recommendation, and evidence of previous experience in research.
The minimum standard acceptable for admission to the graduate program is a grade-point
average of 3.0. Inquiries and applications are welcome at any time. Most students
enter the program in August. Full consideration for August admission can be
assured for all applications received before January 5.
