Educația în neuroștiințe pregătește studentsfor o gamă largă de căi de carieră. Deoarece creierul este implicat în fiecare efort uman important. Înțelegerea funcției și disfuncției cerebraleeste critică în multe domenii, inclusiv medicină, psihologie, drept, Inginerie,Educație și politici publice. Deoarece neuroștiința este un domeniu extrem de interdisciplinar, elevii învață să încorporeze cunoștințe de la multe niveluri (de la molecule la om) pentru a rezolva probleme complexe., Rigorous training in a highly relevant fieldprovides neuroscience students with a wide range of career options.
