Internships, Volunteering, Off-Campus Research and Jobs

A science internship, research or volunteer position, or job provides a way for students to gain scientific experience and skills working in academia, business, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGO), or other institutions or organizations. Students can receive credit for internships or research even if they are doing them for money by taking Biology credit, and students can even participate in international internships for credit through the IE3 Global Internships Program.

Students interested in working with faculty on projects on this campus or other academic institutions should read about OSU undergraduate research.
