Selecting a senior thesis topic

For many NAB majors, the senior thesis project is their most enjoyable and intellectually rewarding experience at Barnard. To make sure you have a similar experience, we can offer you several types of support:

1. Attend the NAB program-planning meeting in the Spring semester of your junior year. We will have an extended discussion about the process of selecting a mentor and thesis topic.
2. Meet with the Director of the NAB program.
3. Explore the research interests of Neuroscience faculty:
• within the NAB major
• in the Departments of Psychology and Biological Sciences at the Morningside CU campus
• at the CU Medical Campus (use white search box in upper right corner of page)
• at the NY State Psychiatric Institute.
• at nearby universities, including NYU, Rockefeller University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
4. Approach a mentor that worked previously with a NAB major. To aid in this process, we have provided a list of the projects completed by 2008 NAB majors, together with links to each mentor's lab.
