Internship Program

The Department of Biological Sciences offers a broad, integrated, and in-depth approach to the life sciences. The internship provides experiences unavailable in the classroom and exposes students to scientific research and techniques outside the Department of Biological Sciences and Wright State University. As a student, you can decide in which area of biology you would like to gain valuable experience.

The goal of the internship program is to provide a practical work experience for students enrolled in Biological Sciences programs. Students can use their internship as life science electives within their curriculum. The experience you receive during your internship will:

• Sharpen your skills by giving you the opportunity to apply already developed knowledge of principles, methods and practices with the biological sciences
• Prepare you for continuing study by providing a better understanding of the relevance that the course work has to real-world situations
• Afford your sponsoring institution an opportunity to train you and other students, gain use of your skills on a short term basis, and evaluate your future potential for long-term employment after graduation
• Promote a close working partnership between the Department of Biological Sciences and scientists in industry and government
