One of the strengths of the MCB program is that our faculty participate in a large number of undergraduate internship programs. These programs provide substantial opportunities for undergraduate students to do conduct in MCB labs and see if the MCB graduate program would be a good fit.
Current MCB students have opportunities to work with these programs, volunteer and gain mentorship experience!
