Special Opportunities

Experience: Through the university’s partnerships with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, students have access to internships where they gain real-world lab and research experience.

Research: Conduct research with a faculty mentor through the Summer Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI), McNair Scholars Program or a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE), which engages an entire class in scientific inquiry. Those opportunities prepare students to present their research at conferences or publish their research in scholarly journals.
