Internship Research Poster Session
Bioscience Interns have spent 180+hrs over one semester in an internship at a local SF Bay Area lab. Students backgrounds vary from no science coursework prior to coming to the CCSF Biotechnology program to students with Bachelor's degrees in science or higher degrees from institutions outside the United States. All CCSF Bioscience Interns previously completed a Career Exploration in Biosciences course and presented a Career Exploration Poster at a prior CCSF Biosymposium.
