Training for Undergraduate Students
Finding Undergraduate Research Experiences
We encourage undergraduates to engage in research with NeuroNET faculty. As a neuroscience program at a major research university, high quality research opportunities are available for students that we expect willshape and define their undergraduate experience. A list of NeuroNET faculty can be found here:
