SCI 271+ - Internship in Natural Science

1 credit

Offers students course credit for internship or cooperative learning experiences in the scientific workplace. By working with employers on a selected project that meets academic goals, students will develop practical workplace skills to complement their academic knowledge. At the same time, students will report regularly to an academic faculty member who will supervise the student’s progress, act as a liaison to the supervisor in the workplace, and evaluate the project to ensure that it meets academic goals. Students will present a final project to the supervising faculty member; the course grade will be assigned based upon that project and a written evaluation from the workplace supervisor. [AS NEEDED] Five hours lecture over the course of the semester and three hours of work experience per week.
Prerequisite(s): A 2.0 GPA; completion of 12 credit hours; passing grade in one four-credit laboratory science course.
