Courses

The Courses in the DYNS program are the beginning of an intellectual journey. With the foundation built in the CORE COURSES, a graduate student can explore the paths into new ideas and research with ELECTIVES of their choice, working in labs and coming together with other students, mentors and idea systems in a world of dynamical neuroscience research. 

Core & Elective Courses

 Note: DYNS Graduate Students are able to take courses from across campus. see program requirements sheet for more details. All DYNS graduate students petition to included course work not on the Approved Elective Units list, as part of their PhD program.
