Overview

Students receive training via academic coursework, research, teaching and outreach activities. The Neuroscience MSc degree from Georgia State University emphasizes the research aspect of graduate training and so all MS students must either complete a capstone project or successfully conduct and defend an approved thesis. The thesis option is only recommended for students that are interested in eventually pursuing a doctoral degree.
