After Kenyon
Recent Biology graduates have chosen a wide variety of careers after leaving Kenyon. Substantial numbers have chosen to become medical doctors, while others have chosen to combine a research career with clinical duties by opting to enter challenging M.D./Ph.D. Programs. For students who have found research and teaching to be interesting and rewarding, going to graduate programs is a popular option. Recently, increasing numbers of students have chosen to get further training in allied health professions, such as Master's in Public Health, and certification as physician's assistants.
Many students have decided to enter careers directly after graduation from Kenyon, having found exciting opportunities as research technicians in both industry and in academia. Graduating students interested in environmental careers have found positions with both conservation organizations and the government, while others have chosen to serve society by becoming teachers, or by going overseas as Peace Corps volunteers. In many cases, our graduates will enter the job market for a few years before resuming their studies and getting graduate degrees.
