Internships in Biological Science
Obtaining practical experience is of great benefit both for enhancing your prospects for acceptance into a graduate program and for gaining greater familiarity with the professional expectations and demands of your chosen field of study. Many students interested in careers in the health sciences intern at CVPH Medical Center, Plattsburgh N.Y. and other sites near campus. Internships are performed for credit during the semester or during break. Learn more about local health sciences internships
