Overview

The Graduate Program offers programs of study leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.

Research

The Cognitive and Brain Sciences Program at University of Nevada, Reno employs a mentor model approach to research training - upon admission to the graduate program, students enter into the laboratory of their primary faculty advisor.

From the beginning, students work closely with their advisor on well-defined research projects, with the goal of developing a programmatic line of research, ultimately leading to a dissertation, and laying the foundation upon which a career in research can be built.
As the student progresses through the program, they are encouraged to establish collaborative ties with other program faculty. Funding is available in the form of research assistantships to support graduate research.
