Experiential Learning - Internships
Many marine stations and oceanographic research institutes offer research experience programs for undergraduates that allow you to work directly with a faculty mentor. It's a great way to learn about marine science beyond the UW, get hands on experience, meet oceanography students from other colleges and connect with potential future graduate school advisors.
See our Academic Advisor's list of internship opportunities on the Ocean Blog.
