BI 451 - Biology Internship

Qualified students may be offered the opportunity to develop, with the aid of the Internship Facilitator of the Department, an internship experience relevant to their academic needs. Assessment will be based on a portfolio that includes the agency’s outcome assessment, the student’s objective and subjective journal, and a primary-source referenced term paper in an area allied to the internship. BI 451 and BI 452 are typically the equivalent of one or two academic courses. Students have participated in internships with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Piscataquog Watershed Association, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Optima Health, New Hampshire Custom Brewers, the University of New Hampshire Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Southern Maine Regional Genetics Service Program, the Foundation for Blood Research, Covino Environmental Associates, Catholic Medical Center, members of the Congress of the United States, and the Fitness Network, among many other organizations.

Prerequisite(s): Permission of the Internship Facilitator of the Biology Department.
