Student reviews of Keck Graduate Institute (KGI), part of the Claremont Colleges, highlight its strong focus on applied life sciences and industry connections. Many praise the hands-on learning approach, small class sizes, and collaborative environment. The MS in Applied Life Sciences (MSquare) program is noted for its interdisciplinary curriculum and career-oriented projects.
However, some students mention the workload as intense, requiring strong time management. Location in Claremont, California, is seen as a plus for networking but costly for housing. Overall, reviews emphasize KGI’s niche in preparing graduates for biotech, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare leadership roles.
