USD Neuroscience, Nanotechnology & Networks Program
USD-N3 Graduate Training Program
Diverse training with unlimited possibilities.
The USD-N3 program provides training in the development of novel nanotechnology-derived tools aimed at both understanding the brain and potentially treating disorders of the brain. Our students receive tuition and stipend support, including an annual stipend of $34,000 for two years during training.
Our unique program emphasizes microtracks - a series of non-science courses that will prepare you for careers in:
- Biotechnology
- Scientific writing and editing
- Government and public policy
- Education
