The Hunter College Human Biology Internship For Credit program, designated as HMBIO 40300, provides an opportunity for Human Biology majors to integrate classroom knowledge with practical application through experiential learning in a professional setting. While the Human Biology Program does not arrange specific internships, it offers a structured pathway for students to receive academic credit for qualifying external research or professional experiences. Internships considered for credit must align with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) guidelines, emphasizing a legitimate learning experience with clear objectives, supervision by a field expert, and routine feedback. Additionally, the internship must be part of an official program at a host institution or agency, have documented goals, and extend beyond mere shadowing or administrative tasks. Students can earn between 1 and 3 credits based on the hours committed, with 3 credits equivalent to 100-120 hours. Enrollment requires completing an Internship/Independent Study Request Form and subsequent approval by the Human Biology program director, followed by course registration through CUNYfirst. This credit-bearing course is subject to standard tuition and fees. The program supports students in finding opportunities through various resources like the Career Center and a dedicated website listing potential internships, research, and postbaccalaureate options. This internship for credit is also a component required for graduation with honors in Human Biology.
