PSYC 5200 and Student Presentations

The seminars are open to any interested faculty, staff, and students. However, behavioral neuroscience (BNS) graduate students are required to take four semesters of seminar (PSYC 5200) for credit. The major goal of the course is to give students a chance to practice presenting and get feedback on their research. Senior graduate students and advanced/honors undergraduates working in BNS/PNB labs may also register.
