Coops and Internships for Undergraduates

BME students can do an internship at a BME Faculty lab at UConn, or pursue an internship opportunity off campus.

Undergraduate students in BME may pursue internship opportunities inside or outside of the University of Connecticut. Internships afford students the opportunity to improve their resume writing, hone interview skills, explore a diverse variety of companies and gain valuable work experience. Students may pursue opportunities in any of the 50 states.

For UConn internship opportunities, check the Internship bulletin board in the Bronwell Building, or visit the Faculty homepages and contact those Faculty in your area of interest to explore an internship.
