<p>My daughter attends Pomona and has loved every minute of it.
I have recently been asked about Pomonas science program from a local family whose son is interested in neuroscience and has begun his college search. I thought I would ask here for anyone that has more experience with this major and can speak to what Pomona offers.
Have you been satisfied, are your kids satisfied?
Thank you!</p>
<p>I graduated in 2011 with a degree in Neuroscience so this information may be a bit outdated (and therefore I won’t make this the most detailed response). However, I LOVED my experience. Absolutely amazing teachers, interesting classes, and I had 5 job offers upon graduating from Pomona’s program (and I was not one of the <em>top</em> students).</p>
<p>And in even better news - in the years since I graduated, Pomona has put a lot of work and revamped the whole program (is it a department now?) so it is only getting better and better. I really can’t say enough about it.</p>
<p>knr, I am curious what types of jobs you were offered upon graduation. I don’t know much about the neuroscience field. Did you accept one of those offers, or go to grad school?</p>
<p>Mamabear, they were all for positions in different labs but they were all actually very different. The benefit of majoring in neuroscience is that since it is truly a center of several different sciences (and a pretty rare major for a school to offer), your skills become applicable to a wide variety of places. I was offered assistant, tech, and lab manager jobs at different bio/biochem/psych/neuro labs. I ended up working for the Brain and Creativity Institute/Dornsife Imagining Center over at USC and had a great experience :)</p>
