An industry internship is a graduation requirement for the MBS at KGI (for all other programs it is optional). Each MBS student is required to complete a minimum of 400 hours in a paid internship with a life science company to fulfil the internship requirement, and must participate in a poster presentation following their industry internship. Students must complete both the internship and poster presentation prior to receiving credit for the internship, and before it is recorded on their official transcript.
