Summer Research Internships Key to Student Growth

Over the last three summers, at least 50 Bethel students in the sciences have either

  1. received competitive internships at nationally recognized research universities including Purdue, Cornell, Texas A&M, University of Colorado, and MIT under a National Science Foundation program called Research Experience for Undergraduates; or

  2. have interned at places such NASA, Mayo Clinic, Guidant, 3M, Medtronic, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

“I have served four small liberal arts institutions; Bethel is distinctive in the outstanding quality of its natural sciences. Our curriculum, instruction, student and faculty research, and commitment to the scientific endeavor are unparalleled in my experience.”
Ken Petersen, Professor of Biology
