Careers

Lake Forest College facilitates five career communities called Career Pathways to help students explore major/career options and position themselves for the internships that will help them to further prepare for productive and rewarding careers after graduation. Students from all majors can participate in the Career Pathways to shape their career goals alongside of their academic interests.

To get an idea for which pathways students might join based upon some common neuroscience interests, check these out:

• Health professions – Science and Health Care
• Law and policy – Law and Public Service + Science and Health Care
• Research – Science and Health Care
• Industry – Science and Health Care
• Nonprofit management – Law and Public Service
• Pharmaceutical sales – Business and Finance + Science and Health Care
• Conservation and environment – Science and Health Care
• Scientific illustrator – Creative Arts + Science and Health Care
• Biotechnology – Science and Health Care

Explore the Career Pathways by participating in events, reading profiles of students’ and alumni experiences, and by joining a pathway (or two).
