CHEM 385 - Internship in Chemistry

FA, SP. Off-campus chemistry internships can be arranged for qualified students. Students work 10-12 (3 semester hours) or 13-15 (4 semester hours) hours per week throughout the semester under the supervision of an off-campus employer-supervisor and a faculty internship coordinator. Interns will meet with their faculty coordinator bi-weekly, keep a reflective journal, and submit a final written paper summarizing their internship experience.
