Over 75 research assistant positions from a variety of disciplines are available each summer to Wooster students. Students may also visit APEX’s Scots Career Hub for assistance with finding an internship. In addition to listing internships, APEX staff provide tools for applying and obtaining internships. Summer research gives students an opportunity to gain additional experience in a laboratory setting. Many students have worked in academic labs while others have found their way into industry.
