Internship in Biology

Catalog description

The internship in biology permits students to earn academic credit for work or volunteer activity that deals with the biological sciences or prepares the student for graduate and/or professional school. The internship is designed to integrate classroom knowledge with practical work experience in the student’s chosen area of study. Students are evaluated by their on-the-job supervisor and monitoring faculty member. Students also present both a written and oral summation of their experience. A minimum of four hours of actual work experience per week or 60 hours during the semester is required for each credit to be earned. Enrollment in the course is arranged after review and approval of the proposed internship by program faculty. This course may be repeated for an accumulated total of six credits.
