Neuroscience is an outstanding background for diverse careers.  Students who have majored and minored in neuroscience have gone onto become health professionals (doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacist, public health specialists, language therapists), researchers, teachers, science writers, entrepreneurs, etc.

Some choose to enter the workforce right after graduation, and others pursue graduate studies.   Here is a sample list of graduate and medical schools that students attended:

• Johns Hopkins University Medical School
• University of Maryland Medical School
• Albert Einstein College of Medicine
• Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
• Duke University (PhD in neuroscience)
• Rockefeller University
• University of Connecticut (MD / PhD program)
• University of California in San Francisco (MD / PhD program)
• University of North Carolina
