Overview: The internship program named independent study program that enables students to combine what they learn in the classroom with the ‘real life experience’ of working at the Oklahoma Biological Survey. Students will gain skills and try out possible career options, while receiving academic credit. The Oklahoma Biological Survey is both an Organized Research Unit at the University of Oklahoma and a state agency, with the mission to gather, analyze and disseminate information regarding animal and plant species and ecological communities within the state and associated geographical areas. Within the Survey, interns can work in any of the programs, including the general program, the Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory (which deals with rare plants, animals, and ecological communities), the Sutton Avian Research Center in Bartlesville, and the Bebb Herbarium. The Internships in Conservation Biology course is offered by the Botany and Microbiology, Geography, and Zoology Departments. The Department of Botany and Microbiology's internship program, Herbarium Practicum, is also part of OBS Internship Program.
