INTERNSHIP IN BIOLOGICAL
SCIENCES
1.0 - 4.0 Units
BIOL 50 is a discipline specific course that
allows students to earn from 1.0 - 4.0 units for
a structured, monitored off-campus intern-
ship under the supervision of a faculty advi-
sor. Internship locations may include: natural
history museums, zoos and aquariums,
biotechnology companies, and research labo-
ratories and field stations at four-year univer-
sities. It is designed to provide students with
work experience in one or more of the follow-
ing fields with the biological sciences natural
history museum studies, zoo and aquarium
and molecular biology, evolutionary theory,
anatomy and physiology, conservation biol-
ogy, and ecology. The purpose of this class
is to enhance the students’ understanding,
skills acquisitions and professional compe-
tencies for their target career paths within
the biological sciences. Students must work
60 non-paid hours or 75 paid hours per unit
earned. Note: Internships are arranged by
faculty in the Biology Division. This course
may be taken 2 times; a maximum of 4 units
may be earned. Note: This course is Pass/No
Pass only. Laboratory 1-4 hours. Prerequi-
site: Completion of a Biology course at GCC
with a grade of C or better. Recommended
