Internships and Careers
 |
How to get an internship: Internships can be found in a variety of ways. Many students will contact faculty members conducting research in an area of which they are interested. Students may also visit the Internship and Career Center for assistance finding an internship. Others find internships on their own at facilities not affiliated with UC Davis. Finally, the department offers Formal Animal Science Internships at the various animal science facilities. Once you have found an internship you will need to fill out an internship form (see links below) to receive units. If not already affiliated with a faculty member, you will need to find a faculty member to sponsor your internship. The structure of the internship (research or animal experience) and the number of units you have will determine whether the internship is a 92, 99, 192, or 199. Take the completed form to the Animal Science Advising Center (1202 Meyer Hall) to receive a CRN number to add the class. If you wish to have the internship noted on your transcript, you must fill out the Transcript Notation form from the ICC (forms are also available in ASAC). |
