Department of Animal Science - Undergraduate Program

Internship Qualifications

The Animal Science internship program is designed to expand a student’s education by including academic credit for meaningful off-campus work experiences. Students can participate in more than one internship as long as the total internship credits are not more than 6 credits. Credit is variable (2 to 6) but a typical summer experience would earn 3 credits. Semester long experiences can earn up to 6 credits for one internship.

In addition to gaining valuable professional experience, the student can evaluate employers for future employment. Employers also like to evaluate students for future employment although no commitments should be implied by an internship.
