MCDB Opportunities
The MCDB department does not provide internship credit like other departments. Their primary focus is on research, so all opportunities directly related to molecular, cellular, and developmental biology are research-based.
The MCDB department does offer students credits through the MCDB Skills Center. Please talk with your advisor about how this might benefit your academic and professional career.
