Outside the Classroom
Outside the classroom, students gain experience in settings that allow them to further expand their interpersonal, academic, research and life skills
Internships
Internships provide opportunities for students to test themselves in potential career environments. Ursinus students complete summer or academic year internships in:
- Health professions – doctor, dental, optometry, veterinary hospitals and offices, assisted living facilities and hospices
- Zoos, biological field stations, nature preserves
- Pharmaceutical and biotech companies
Faculty-Lead Field Experiences
The Biology Department also sponsors faculty-lead field experiences. These have included:
- Marine biology at the Woods Hole Research Center, Massachusetts
- Neotropical biology at field stations in Costa Rica
- Darwinian evolution in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
In addition to these opportunities, many of our students conduct research with a Biology faculty member. A variety of research projects in a range of subdisciplines of biology are ongoing.
