Academic internships
provide the opportunity to gain "on-the-job" experience as well
as personal insight into the workings of a particular field or system.
The internship program presents an alternative to traditional classroom instruction and the chance for eager students to demonstrate imagination and resourcefulness. The intern benefits not only through educational growth, but also by the development of special skills, the assessment of personal commitments and the exploration of potential careers.
Internships are available in a wide area of the biological and medical sciences. Information on internships is available from the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies.
Lists of internship positions are published twice a year by the Center
for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies.
Applications are accepted in early November and mid-March from students who will be juniors or seniors in the following semester.
Those who are accepted for internships must select a faculty advisor from the field of study that the internship encompasses or enroll in one of the internship seminars offered through the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies. The internship is considered as one of the student's four academic courses and receives credit accordingly, but does not count towards the biology major.
