G-CNS-C - Cognitive Neuroscience Certificate

Students who matriculate directly into a PhD-granting departmental program have the opportunity to acquire training in cognitive neuroscience at Duke by means of a certificate program in the field. This program is designed for students whose interests   are more focused on studies present within a particular department, but who want to also include training in cognitive neuroscience in their graduate program. In addition to the curricular requirements of their home department, students in the certificate program complete a core course in cognitive neuroscience and participate in relevant seminars and journal clubs, including giving a research talk. To enroll in the Cognitive Neuroscience Certificate Program, students must first be admitted to one of the participating departments (see each department’s listing for additional information) and then contact the director of graduate studies.
