Research & Work Opportunities for Students

In addition to its many course offerings, the department provides numerous opportunities for field-oriented studies, independent research, internships, and jobs.

These include several field-based courses and access for independent research at:

• Arnot Teaching and Research Forest near Ithaca

• Little Moose Field Station in the Adirondacks

• Cornell Biological Field Station on Oneida Lake near Syracuse

• Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire

• numerous natural areas near campus.

Part-time jobs in the research and extension programs of many faculty members offer students opportunities for career-related work experience. Many department faculty members also work closely with students who wish to pursue a research honors degree.
