Students who would like to earn academic credit along with their internship experience can enroll in Society and Genetics 195CE.

Soc Gen 195CE (4.0) units is best suited for students with a background in the life sciences and/or prior coursework in the social sciences focused on the human body. Students must have junior or senior status, and have good academic standing (at least 3.0 GPA).
