This program gives qualified undergraduate students the opportunity to work and learn at an active marine research station. Internship projects are conducted for eight weeks (June 8 - Aug. 1). While completing an internship, the student lives at the DeFelice Marine Center in Cocodrie working under the supervision of a Faculty/Staff Advisor and University Education Coordinator. Summer interns participate in an intern field day and give an informal presentation of their accomplishments to their advisors and other interns in a supportive social atmosphere.

Interns will receive free room and board and a $100/week stipend.
