BIOL 385 - Internship in Biology

(0-4)

FA, SP, SU. This course is for students participating in an internship that emphasizes professional application of the concepts and principles learned as part of a biology program. A student has responsibilities in a laboratory, office, private firm, not-for-profit organization, or government agency. The student works on a specific project under the direct supervision of an employer-supervisor and/or faculty internship coordinator. On-campus internships are to be completed under an appropriate Calvin supervisor, while off-campus internships are to be completed under the supervision of the designated faculty internship coordinator. All students must maintain an internship journal and present an oral or written report summarizing the internship experience. For off-campus internships, students will also be evaluated by their employer-supervisor. Only one from BIOL 385, BIOL 390, or BIOL 399 may be used to satisfy the requirements for the biology major. Prerequisite(s): Prerequisites: Instructor, advisor, and departmental approval.
