Best Cognitive Neuroscience MA/phD programs

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am a recent graduate of Penn State University w/ a BS in Kinesiology-Movement Science. I am interested in pursuing graduate school to study cognitive neuroscience. Specifically, I would like to do research on the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury in athletes but I am unsure which programs would be best suited for my interests. My stats are: </p>

<p>Undergrad GPA- 3.58
GRE Q - 730
GRE V - 570
4.5 on the analytical section
Research in both the PSU sport psych lab and the neuromotion lab</p>

<p>I have begun applying to Michigan(phd), BU(phd), UNC(masters), and Columbia(phd) but was wondering if there were any other programs/professors I should consider? I would like to get my masters first but am not opposed to diving right into a doctoral program. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for all the help!</p>

<p>If you are interested in TBI, you need to go to institutions that have very strong programs in that field. It is a very small field, so I would suggest you chose based on the quality of the TBI research and not school name.</p>

<p>University of Miami, for example, has one of the best SCI/TBI programs: [Our</a> Research Faculty – The Miami Project](<a href=“http://www.miamiproject.miami.edu/Page.aspx?pid=281]Our”>http://www.miamiproject.miami.edu/Page.aspx?pid=281)</p>
