THE PROGRAM

The M.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience at The Graduate Center is a multidisciplinary program that focuses on the biological bases of cognitive functions, including perception, attention, memory, language, and decision making. Breakthroughs in cognitive neuroscience are shaping fields as diverse as artificial intelligence, criminal justice, data science, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, psychology, and medicine.

Students will have the opportunity to design and conduct experiments with leading experts at our many laboratories and research centers using the latest technologies, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); electroencephalography (EEG); transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS); optical imaging; and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Students will also gain marketable skills in statistics and data analysis through classroom experience and research.

This master’s program is open to applicants with any relevant academic or professional background. It will position students to meet the increasing demands of today’s fast-growing careers in health, technology, business, and education. This program is also excellent preparation for further doctoral study.
