Internships and Independent Study

The Department of Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences encourages students to enhance their programs of study with an Internship experience and/or an Independent Study research project. These opportunities provide students with experience and training that will be useful in career planning as well as in decision making about fields of possible graduate study. Students must have attained at least sophomore status and be in good academic standing. Although use of Independent Study and Internship credits is restricted within the major, the university allows up to 18 credits of Internship to be applied toward graduation credit requirements. Under the Applied Biology and Biotechnology concentration students are required to conduct an independent research project as a part of their program.
