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.
T.R. Williams Chemistry Summer Scholars
The Department of Chemistry at The College of Wooster will host the Theodore R. Williams Chemistry Summer Scholars. This program supports four College of Wooster undergraduate students in a Mentored, Independent Research Project, funded through the T.R. Williams Summer Research Endowment fund.
