Students must know: Undergraduate research programs are available and valuable
Getting ready to enter college for the first time, or already in an undergraduate program? Listen up, because this is definitely something you’ll want to know about and consider. To have a vibrant and successful career in any field — health, science, technology, you name it — you’ll need to build some hands-on experience, even in college. That’s tough to do, because after all, how can you earn the desirable experience without a degree, or, well, other experience? That’s where internships play a major role. They allow you to get involved with an active or ongoing project, usually in the field you’re studying.
