Some students work on the campus farms or in the greenhouse, while others do paid internships at botanical gardens, golf courses, tree care companies, farms, nurseries or other horticulture businesses or non-profits. Students seeking a more formal mentorship experience can participate in paid fellowship programs: Coastal and Environmental Fellows, Science and Engineering Fellows, or Agriculture and Food Systems Fellows. Want to dive deeper into a topic of particular interest? Independent research courses allow students to develop and execute a project together with a faculty advisor. Students seeking teaching experience can serve as undergraduate teaching assistants for course credit.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

The M.S. and Ph.D. in Biological and Environmental Sciences (BES) are interdisciplinary, interdepartmental graduate degrees that involve faculty from multiple departments in the College of the Environment and Life Sciences and the Graduate School of Oceanography. Contact individual faculty to learn more about specific graduate research opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n
