College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

Baccalaureate Degree Programs

Internships and Cooperative Education

Internships provide real-world experience in industries related to agriculture, life sciences or natural resources. Students return to campus with an interest in course work from the perspective of knowledge and skills needed to succeed. The experiences are so valuable that many students complete more than one internship. Most departments in the College offer academic credit for the satisfactory completion of an internship course. In fact, an internship is required for graduation in some degree programs.

The Agriculture and Natural Resources Congressional Internship Program places students from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in Washington, D.C., or Austin in the office of a legislator or government agency for a semester or summer. Selection for the program is based upon academic performance, leadership and other factors.

Cooperative education is a program of work and study that allows students to gain practical experience in their chosen field while pursuing a degree. Students interested in information should write the Texas A&M University Office of Cooperative Education.
