Some programs even require an internship prior to graduation. Internships are available in the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. A professional staff is available to assist you in setting up an internship in your area of interest. A large number of students participate in research activities on a volunteer basis. Although these students don't receive credit, or a grade, they still gain all the skills and experience that will benefit them in the future.
Students can volunteer at many of the research centers on campus.
Students often volunteer at the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children of the H.Lee Moffit Cancer Research Center . Students may meet with a faculty member conducting research in an area of interest and simply ask if they can volunteer in the lab or on the project. Faculty members are often looking for students to help out. The tasks may begin as cleaning test tubes or recording data from surveys, but frequently develop into something much more.
