Internships for Entomology Majors
ENTMLGY 4191 Internship Experiences in Entomology 1-2 credits
The Entomology major requires hands-on experience through student internships customizable by student interest. Ten or more weeks of an individualized experiential learning opportunity designed to link theoretical classroom knowledge with practical field application or research experience in an ongoing research environment. While some students use research experience with entomology faculty as their internship, many students secure hands-on experiences outside the university through government agencies, non-profits, and private business and consulting firms.
Entomology Student research Assistant Jobs
Many Entomology faculty employ undergraduate students to develop lab skills and a passion for reseach.
Lab experience may occur as part of of the major-required internship (unpaid, see ENTMLGY 4191 and ENTMLGY 4998/9H, above). However, many labs also hire undergrads as student research assistants (paid) to work in labs or research fields. Contact the faculty member directly to discuss internship or employment opportunities.
