Several internship opportunities can be found at ISU in various disciplines, including:

 

BCB students have been successful at obtaining internships with various pharmaceutical and industrial companies for the upcoming summer and in the recent past including:

  • Merck - Misha Rajaram and Li Xue
  • Novartis - Xiaoyong Sun
  • Syngenta - Yves Sucaet and Matt Moscou
  • Siemens - Fadi Towfic

Remember, international students must be enrolled at ISU when taking part in an internship opportunity off campus to remain in good standing with visa regulations. Enroll in a cooperative course such as Stat 598 or EcpE 598 to minimize tuition costs and fees. Currently, BCB does not have a coop offering, but discussions are underway to put one in place.
