Many of our recent graduates have worked or are working in laboratories of NIH and of academic institutions, such as Columbia University, Boston University, Harvard University, and Stanford 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 received further training are researchers at institutions such as Johns Hopkins, as well as physicians in private practice.

Research
Research is a major activity in the working day of our students and faculty in psychology and in neuroscience.
Students can participate in research in numerous ways. Some students work as research assistants on projects being conducted by faculty. Many of those students become published co-authors on articles in professional journals.
Students also are required to participate in research projects during their senior year in a research seminar or in a senior thesis research project. Other students do research for independent study course credit. Some students do a research internship during the summer in the laboratory of a faculty member.
