Top 20 neuroscience schools in US?

<p>Hi. Can you please list the top 20 schools for the above area. Also could you give a little feed back about those schools you know about. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>since you seem to ask a lot of these questions, here are my suggestions:</p>

<p>a) search for them yourself
b) look for similar threads like this on CC already.
or c) limit all these questions to one thread.</p>

<p>Indeed, this question has been asked in some form many times before. I will say that Brown is known for an excellent neuroscience program.</p>

<p>ok. I have searched myself, and I have come up with a bunch of schools. I thought one important factor of CC was to see what others think; I already know what I think, or what I would probably do. And other threads follow the same pattern over and over; yes brown, hopkins, berkeley, mit, caltech and all the big ones are AWEsome. The specific question was how about the more obscure ones? anyways…</p>

<p>Rhodes College in Memphis is a really different option if you’re looking at Neuroscience. It’s one of a very few (perhaps the only?) liberal arts colleges that have Nueroscience as a major. It’s also got strong connections with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and is located in a major city 5 minutes from the medical district.</p>

<p>I think Brown is pretty good in neuroscience.</p>

<p>Try searching. :slight_smile: You’re not going to find a list of the “20 best.” It is ~difficult to quantify undergraduate programs sometimes. Especially if there are a lot of new ones (e.g.; Princeton just stuffed a lot of money into its neuroscience department).</p>

<p>A change you’ll notice from these links is that Duke DOES now have a neuroscience major. You can receive a BS in it. ([Undergraduate</a> Neuroscience | Duke Institute for Brain Sciences | Brain Research](<a href=“http://www.dibs.duke.edu/education/undergraduate-neuroscience]Undergraduate”>http://www.dibs.duke.edu/education/undergraduate-neuroscience))</p>

<p>Most people pretty much sum up the best neuroscience schools in the following list (in no particular order):</p>

<p>JHU
MIT
Duke
Penn
Stanford
Brown
Dartmouth
UCSD
Cornell
Chicago
Northwestern
Amherst</p>

<p>I know I am probably missing some too, so don’t take this list as as the “superior” list.</p>
