About Program
The Applied Science Research Virtual Internships are ideal for students who are applied science, animal science, wildlife research, conservation, or pre-vet majors, looking for relevant training to build skills needed to advance their careers. These internships provide exclusive opportunities to engage with unique animals and highly qualified animal behavior specialists around the world and an opportunity to gain research experience. You can choose a program based in South Africa primarily working with black-footed cats, or a program in Belize monitoring crocodiles, manatees and more. In both options, you will be part of a special group that will be observing footage, making observations, providing evidence, and presenting your findings, all while making connections with peers and animal experts that will help inform and shape your career path. All of our students get the relevant training they need to develop their research skills and advance their science careers.
