PROSEMINAR: Bring students closer to the knowledge generated by other laboratories of national and international prestige, through short courses taught by those responsible for these laboratories. This axis is carried out with a double objective: 1) to know what and how they approach the knowledge generation process, as well as the results obtained in other laboratories and 2) to create future links with those laboratories that promote both the realization of reciprocal research stays such as collaborative research development. THESIS SEMINAR: During the fourth semester, the student must work on writing the thesis that will culminate in its presentation before a tribunal to obtain the degree of Master in Behavioral Science. The Thesis Seminar subject will have the function of monitoring the progress of the writing, with continuous and periodic feedback from the thesis committee. Additionally, during semesters 3 and 4, students must take two elective courses (one in each semester), with the following general purpose: OPTIONAL COURSE: Complement and strengthen the training of students that is required for the proper development of their research.
