BIOL 495 - Laboratory Or Field Internship

Credits: Variable

Internship involving work that specifically requires a strong biological background involving laboratory or fieldwork usually off campus. The Biology Dept. does not provide internships, but welcomes student-initiated proposals. A faculty member must approve in advance and sponsor both the proposed work and the off-campus supervisor. The student must write a proposal before approval (instructions and form availabe at the department’s website), then keep a log during the work and submit a written report after experience. Prerequisites: consent of the instructor and departmental approval. Pass/Fail only. Students who wish to participate in an internship and have previously been convicted of a felony are advised that they will be asked about their prior criminal history. This may impede your ability to participate in certain internships. Students who have concerns about such matters, or are looking for additional information, are advised to contact the dean’s office of their intended academic program.
