The neuroscience faculty are active researchers who provide ample opportunities for students to get research experience in their labs as well as at off-campus labs.
Faculty Research Interests
The Neuroscience Program faculty pursue a wide array of fascinating research projects, all of which are available to student participation.
Faculty and Student Co-Authored Publications
Some students begin work with a faculty member in early in the career at Trinity and have the opportunity to see their research culminate in a professional publication or a presentation at a professional conference.
Senior Honors Thesis Projects
Some students chose to complete a year-long independent research project. Most of these are related to the faculty member’s own research, but some can be designed independently by the student. Students typically start a senior thesis at least the summer before their senior year.
Fast Track BS/MA in Neuroscience
Students who are already involved in research by their junior year can apply to participate in our 5 year BS/MA program. This allows them to spend a fifth year at Trinity completing a research project and earning a Master’s degree.
Student Honors, Opportunities, and Outcomes
We are proud of our students. We have an active Neuroscience Club and an active chapter of Nu Rho Psi (the national honor society in Neuroscience).
