Internship in Biology 1-6 credits<br />
Prerequisite: BIO 201, 202, 203, and 204. The internship in<br />
biology permits students to earn academic credit for work or<br />
volunteer activity that deals with the biological sciences or<br />
prepares the student for graduate and/or professional school.<br />
The internship is designed to integrate classroom knowledge<br />
with practical work experience in the student’s chosen area<br />
of study. Students are evaluated by their on-the-job<br />
supervisor and monitoring faculty member. Students also<br />
present both a written and oral summation of their<br />
experience. A minimum of four hours of actual work<br />
experience per week or 60 hours during the semester is<br />
required for each credit to be earned. Enrollment in the<br />
course is arranged after review and approval of the proposed<br />
internship by program faculty. This course may be repeated<br />
for an accumulated total of six credits. Three credits earned<br />
in this course may count towards the 35 credits of biology<br />
required for the major, with any additional credits earned<br />
applied towards the total 60 credits of science required for<br />
the bachelor of science degree. (SEM)<br />
