Environmental science majors complete two required internships, which strengthen career preparation and enhance classroom work. Several internships have led to job opportunities immediately after graduation. For example, recent internships in risk assessment at Ecology and Environment led to job offers for Canisius students. For those planning to attend graduate school, an independent research project in environmental science can take the place of an internship. Often this research is used for the foundation of the student's graduate research.
Clubs
Tri Beta Biological Honor Society is the biology honor society. Students participate in a variety of activities including scientific, service, fund raising, and social. Membership to the national society is recognized as a strong academic accomplishment. Environmental Science majors are eligible for club and national membership.
Canisius Zoological Society is a group of students interested in animal related activities including bringing guest speakers to campus and nature-focused travel. Recent trips have included trips to zoos, field trips, and whale-watches.
Society of Pre-Health Professionals is open to students from any major interested in a career in the health sciences. Activities include a mentoring program, tours of local medical schools, an open house, and charity events.
