<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings from Cal State Los Angeles! I am the Director of the Post-baccalaureate Certificate Program in Biotechnology (BiotechCP) which is a revamped one-year program for students who are interested in careers in the biotechnology and
pharmaceutical industries (<a href="http://www.calstatela.edu/research/hxu3/biotech-certificate">http://www.calstatela.edu/research/hxu3/biotech-certificate</a>). This program is supported by a grant from Department of Education (Title V-B) which provides
scholarship support ($4,000 per year) for eligible students of the program. After two semesters of course work, students will participate in a summer internship in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We would like to attract graduating seniors to apply.
The deadline for completed applications for fall 2018 entry is April 16, 2018.<o:p></o:p></p>
