Summer Research Internships in Plant Pathology

We invite you to explore the field of plant pathology through our Summer Research Internship in Plant Pathology, or SRIPP.

Plant pathology, or the study of plant disease, encompasses disciplines such as molecular genetics, environmental sciences, agriculture, biology and more.  Even students interested in the medical or veterinary fields find intriguing parallels in plant disease systems.  Plus, we have outstanding, caring mentors and students that make SRIPP rewarding and fun.

We have internships in both Columbus and OARDC-Wooster.  Explore the left menu bar for additional internship programs and Columbus/Wooster info. Want more info? Explore our Faculty Research Directory.  You are welcome to contact faculty to inquire about their programs.  Work experience and other opportunities often arise during the school year.
