The Animal Science internship program is designed to expand a student's education by including academic credit for meaningful work experiences. Students can participate in more than one internship but students are restricted to a maximum of 6 credits that can count toward graduation requirements. Credit is variable (2 to 6) but a typical summer experience would earn 3 credits. Internships can be arranged with any employer that is interested in helping a student gain professional experience and is not a relative of the student. Students will have the opportunity to evaluate employers for future employment. Employers will be able to evaluate students for future employment although no commitments should be implied by the student or employer when entering into an internship.
