Marcellus Byrd

“Kent State’s ABSN program was more desirable than other programs I had considered because I could complete it in 15 months, much quicker than most schools,” said Byrd. “Many of the nurses on my floor raved about Kent State’s nursing program, too. When I spoke with an advisor, they were also very helpful in decerning which program would suit my needs best, which also solidified my decision.”...

Eid al-Fitr Celebration

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a period of fasting, reflection, and spiritual growth for Muslims around the world. It is a time of gratitude, generosity, and joyous gatherings with friends and family.

To commemorate this meaningful occasion, we have planned a festive celebration where we will come together to share delicious food, engage in meaningful conversations & enjoy each other's company.

Core Faculty

Dr. Kathleen Casto - Hormone, brain, behavior mechanisms underlying social competition and motivation with implications for mental health conditions associated with hormonal transitions (e.g., premenstrual dysphoria).

Dr. Doug Delahanty - Psychophysiological predictors and correlates of post-traumatic stress: secondary pharmacological interventions for trauma victims

Research Facilities

Much of the research in behavioral neuroscience at Kent State is conducted in the modern and extensive Kent Hall Animal Research Facility.  The animal facility has consistently received full accreditation from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Lab Animal Care (AAALAC). Extensive experimental equipment and surgical/histological facilities are available there. Psychobiological research with human subjects is carried out in appropriate rooms in Kent Hall and other facilities on the university campus as well as regional hospitals.

Research Training

Research participation is a major focus of the behavioral neuroscience program. Students are expected to be involved in scientific investigations throughout their graduate study; typically, the initial participation involves collaboration in a faculty research project. By the end of the first year students are expected to begin an M.A. thesis based on common interests with a faculty member/adviser. Students' developing research experiences, knowledge, and independence culminate in the dissertation, usually completed by the end of the fifth year.
