    Choosing a BA in Neuroscience at Columbia over and above a BS will ultimately impact your future in research or in medicine, but it never prevents success. A BA generally places more emphasis on critical thinking and communication that are important in any health care and policy setting; however, a BS most often gives a better preparatory base in technical and quantitative skills for laboratory research and advanced scientific study. If your goal is to pursue a career in medicine or research, consider complementing your BA with relevant experiences, such as internships or research projects, to enhance your qualifications.

Yes, you can pursue M.Sc in Neuroscience in India with a B.Sc in Microbiology and Food Technology from MCM DAV, provided you meet the eligibility criteria of the university. Most institutes require a B.Sc in life sciences, biology, or allied fields. You may also need to qualify entrance exams like JNU CEEB or university-specific tests.
