Seminars

Undergrad Research, Internship & Senior Thesis
Environmental Biology
The Environmental Biology undergraduate internship program allows students to conduct original research under the supervision of the department’s extensive core, adjunct and affiliate faculty. Most often, students perform field-based research during the summer before their senior year, collecting data for their senior theses. Internships are required for undergraduate majors in Environmental Biology who have completed their junior year. Students are eligible for departmental funding.
Evolution Biology of the Human Species
Evolution Biology of the Human Species (EBHS) students can undertake a senior thesis though it is not required. EBHS thesis projects can be either library-based or original research (field/museum/lab) internship projects that students conduct either during the summer before senior year or over the course of the academic year. Students are eligible for departmental funding.
