Internship Readings and Research

1-6 credits · Undergraduate

Under faculty supervision, students from any discipline can gain scientific research experience in a broad range of public or private institutions or government laboratories. Credit hours are based upon readings or research supervised by BCB faculty to lend some intellectual foundation to the internship experience. A minimum of 1 credit hour in background readings and research must be completed in BCB 3881 concurrently with, and regardless of, the number of credit hours earned in BCB 3880. A substantial research paper must be submitted at the end of the semester during which the internship is completed. These credit hours may not count toward the minimum credit hours required for the Biochemistry & Chemical Biology major. Normally a 3.0 grade point average, 6 hours of prior coursework in BCB, and prior approval of a specific plan of work by the director of undergraduate studies in Biochemistry & Chemical Biology are required. Offered on a graded basis only and must be taken concurrently with 3880. Corequisite: 3880. Variable credit. [1-6] (No AXLE credit)
