Which university is best for gaining research and internship experience in neuroengineering as a CS major?

I plan to major in Computer Science (CS) at the undergraduate level and pursue graduate studies (Master’s and Ph.D.) in fields such as computational cognitive neuroscience, neurotechnology, and brain mapping. My primary interest lies more in neuroengineering than basic neuroscience, and I hope to gain hands-on experience through internships at relevant companies or research institutes during my undergraduate studies.

Given this academic and career path, I would appreciate practical advice on which of the following universities would offer the most advantageous environment in terms of research opportunities, industry-academic collaboration, academic atmosphere, and local internship availability:

  • Stony Brook University (SUNY)
  • University of Utah
  • Auburn University
  • University of Illinois Chicago
  • University of Connecticut

Which can you afford? All are solid universities.

Look at curriculums to see which might fit best.

Good luck.
