Some directed research projects have been in collaboration with other institutions, such as the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. These practicum experiences often include research projects. Students have done research internships at several laboratories at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Students participate in research and development projects at the partnership institution during their junior or senior year. Interns from Chemistry and Biology are selected by application and interview.
Interns receive a stipend and one hour of academic credit for each semester or summer rotation.
The Principal Investigator, Olivia Hanson-Painton, is director of the program. These internships provide a unique opportunity for students in industrial research and development projects.
