Higher Education

Southern California is home to many of the finest community colleges and public and private colleges and universities in the world. More than 100 degree and certification programs focusing on the life sciences are offered throughout the region.

BIOCollaborative

The BIOCollaborative is a partnership between the BIOCOM Institute and the California State University system that will create a seamless transition from Professional Science Master’s graduate training to high demand employment in the life sciences for career entrants and current staff using state-of-the-art, web-based resources.

The Professional Science Master’s degree is a graduate program that prepares science professionals with the strong research backgrounds they need for the pharmaceutical, medical devices and diagnostics sectors while also training them in the managerial, financial, and legal areas needed for business success.

An important component to the BIOCollaborative program is providing skilled PSM graduates internship opportunties.  BIOCOM would like to create a one-stop-shop for members to access talented individuals for internships.  As we create this resource we would greatly appreciate your feedback.  Please download an internship questionnaire that will ask questions regarding how your company recruits for interns: Internship Survey
