Additionally, an Internship Binder is kept in the Student Resource Room. Students are also encouraged to contact ICAR alumni for internship possibilities. Students will meet with Dr. Sandole as required. It is designed to take the concepts presented in class and practiced in labs into real situations with real conflict and real consequences.

Students who are interested in this option should express their interest in the Spring of their first year so they can plug into the year-round activity. A master's thesis must consist of original research related to the field.
