Capstone Project
Students in the master’s degree in Clinical Neuroscience will gather what they have learned throughout their master’s program and apply it to examine a specific idea, concept or application in clinical neuroscience.
Course details →About the degree program
Our Master of Science in Clinical Neuroscience Program is an interdisciplinary course of study emphasizing an evidence-based approach to the brain and nervous system, specific to its impact on human function in health and disease. The course of study addresses the structural, molecular, physiological, cognitive and behavioral aspects of the brain and nervous system. A Capstone Project representing an in-depth current literature research report in the area of clinical neuroscience is required for each student.
