Research Internships

Oregon State University offers exceptional opportunities for marine and coastal research experiences and internships! The work takes place across all OSU Colleges at the Corvallis campus, Hatfield Marine Science Center, and other Oregon coastal locations. Regardless of your major and campus, you can enhance your degree and your resume by engaging in independent experiences, guided by mentors from OSU and partner organizations.

ARE YOU A STUDENT SEEKING AN INTERNSHIP FOCUSED ON COASTAL OR OCEAN ISSUES?

 

If yes, we are excited to help you find an opportunity.

Our goal at MACO is to work with programs across campus and develop more opportunities for learning outside the classroom, including internships that give students research and career experiences locally, nationally, and internationally. 

Internships are typically short-term work assignments related to your major or career interests. Completing an internship is an excellent way to develop the hands-on skills and professionalism needed for a successful transition into the work place.
