Internships are not required. Students may obtain academic credit for participating in a practical learning experience outside Campbell University but often simply choose to gain work experience to strengthen their resumes for post-graduate studies and full-time employment. If the internship is for academic credit, the experience must address a biology-related problem, involve college-level work, and have a component of active, hands-on activity. Up to six (6) upper-level academic credits may be earned in this way.

Examples of the varied experiences gained by students in the Department of Biological Sciences include internships at/as:

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and paramedics training/experience
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Women in Science program
Museum of Natural Sciences (Raleigh, NC)
NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores
Northwest Georgia Science Museum
SeaWorld
South African Shark Conservancy (Gansbaai, South Africa)
Student Conservation Service & US National Park Service
Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom
“Summer Program for Future Doctors” (SPFD) at the East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine
