Internships

Get the experience you need to get the job you want through practical, real-world work experience in forensic laboratories.

Internships enable students to earn 1-3 academic credits while gaining valuable forensic science experience. The work experience supplements classroom learning, introduces new skills and provides insight for future career planning.

Additional experiences may be offered at the discretion of the internship laboratory.
