Academic Committee

Description

The Academic Committee is devoted to fostering academic development for BioE students. The committee regularly hosts alumni panels for students to gain insight into the different routes they can take after graduation (MTM, MS, MD, PhD, MD/PhD, industry), luncheons with faculty in the BioE department, and study sessions. Academic Committee also hosts a scheduling advising session right before Phase 1 to help answer any questions students might have and to help students find coursework tailored to their interests within BioE. Our goal is to help BioE students navigate their academic journeys at Berkeley!

For Committee Members

Hello and welcome to the Academic Committee!

The Academic Committee will explore the different graduate pathways in academia, and what you can do as an undergraduate to prepare for these career paths. This includes how to connect with professors, properly read academic journal entries, find research opportunities and succeed in classes. We will also be covering basic post-graduation information, exploring the many options such as Master’s, PhD, med school, gap year, etc. Candidates will be involved in organizing seminar-related events as well as providing academic support for the BioEHS community. Seminars include but are not limited to professor coffee chats, panel discussions with professionals, and journal readings. Academic support will involve study sessions, course advising, and grad school application workshops.
