For some science programs, conducting research is more effective than internships at providing opportunities to demonstrate and expand your abilities. For others, the professional development acquired in an internship setting may be a better match to what you want to do after graduation. The School of Science works to match you with programs that will be applicable to your post-college plans. Past internships have included:
