Internships and Volunteering

A science internship or volunteer position provides a way for students to gain scientific experience and skills working in business, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGO), or other organizations. Students can receive credit for internships even if they are doing them for money by taking BI 410 Internship credit, and students can also participate in international internships for credit through the IE3 Global Internships Program. Students wishing to get credit must submit an BI 410 Internship Approval Form.

A good starting place for finding internships and volunteering opportunities is signing up for the Biology listserve and Career Services's Beaver Jobnet where these opportunities are posted each week. Additional resources for finding internships on your own include:
