Students in internships will have the same benefits and responsibilities as those taking course credit (see below).
Course Credit
Positions are available for students through Biochemistry course credit. Options through other programs (e.g. Microbiology, honors college) may be available but check with your advisor first. Project type will be chosen depending on your interests, time commitment, and class type. You must speak with Dr. Crawford and your advisor to design a course plan before enrolling in credits.
