Summer Opportunities with Keck Graduate Institute

With spring quarter coming to an end and summer right around the corner, are you still uncertain of how to spend the next couple of months off? If so, take a look and apply for a summer program with the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI)!

KGI is one of the members of The Claremont Colleges and through innovative entrepreneurial approaches and connections with industry, KGI provides opportunities and pathways for students to become leaders within healthcare and the applied life sciences. For 2020, all of KGI summer programs are being offered virtually, with most are free to attend! Whether you are looking for a virtual summer research opportunity, interested in exploring health professions, or wanting to learn more about bioscience, biotechnology, and the relations they have with business, technology, and healthcare, there is an opportunity that will best fit with your interests.

In addition to gaining exposure to your interests and expanding your network through the opportunity of connecting with professionals and participants across different higher education institutions, students who complete summer with KGI will have the added benefit of waiving the GRE/Standardized test and Letter of Recommendation for their graduate application. This is an incredible bonus if you are considering potentially pursuing a post-bachelor degree in industry, healthcare, or research.
