We offer our students stimulating and challenging classes. But, students’ learning opportunities
extend well beyond the classroom. Our students study abroad, pursue internships, and
participate in a variety of research experiences. All of these activities can be undertaken
during the semester, over the summer, or during January. Importantly, we provide students
considerable guidance and support to ensure that they are able to identify the best opportunities
for themselves.
Internships
Our urban location provides nearly endless internship opportunities for students. In the past five years, more than 100 Mac Bio students have done internships at more than eighty different sites.
Research
Support from the college and from grants to individual faculty members provides summer research stipends to more than fifteen students, enabling them to work with faculty on research projects in areas such as immunology, neurobiology, aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, paleobiology, evolution, molecular genetics, and biochemistry.
Mayo Research
The Mayo Innovation Scholars Program (MISP) is a collaborative effort between the Mayo Clinic and selected Minnesota private colleges and universities.
