Internship Program
Internships are a very important facet of the curriculum at Goucher College. As such, the biology faculty members consider well-structured internships to be essential to a student’s education. The variety of internships that have been completed under the supervision of this department is evidence of the flexible and creative applicability of degrees in the biological sciences. Students find internship opportunities through the Career Development Office, through faculty and staff members, or on their own.
A detailed description of the off-campus experience is published by the Career Development Office each year and fully describes the guidelines and timetable for internships. Students interested in arranging an internship in the biological sciences should contact their individual academic advisers.
Biology Club
Goucher's Biology Club is open to all science majors and anyone interested in science. The club’s goal is to foster a community feeling with the science departments through a variety of coordinated events.
