New graduates of the program compete successfully for desirable positions in research laboratories. Many members of the Class of 1998, for example have already been place in laboratories of NIH and of academic institutions, such as Columbia University and Boston University. After two to three years in a research setting, graduates typically go on for advanced degrees in neuroscience, medicine, and other health-related fields. Many of those who have pursued further training are researchers at institutions such as Johns Hopkins, as well as physicians in private practice.



The following is by no means meant to be a comprehensive list of career paths chosen by our graduates. It is intended only to show the variety of careers to which a B.A. in Neuroscience can lead.
