Internships
Opportunities for interning vary from year to year and opportunities can be investigated through one or more of several sources. The first place to check is with your advisor. Many times, employers will advise acquaintances or the faculty of student employment opportunities rather than put out a general announcement. Consequently, some faculty members may know of opportunities specifically for students within The University of Tennessee, Animal Science Department. Also, many companies come directly to the department to interview students for both intern and full-time positions.
