Take advantage of the many summer study opportunities that exist for Biology majors:

  • International Study
  • Research at Villanova with one of our faculty members
    • We encourage rising Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors to apply for Villanova Undergraduate Research Grants to support research with university faculty members. These awards include a stipend, money for research expenses, and funds for attending a conference to present results. (Anticipated deadline: mid March 2008). Biology majors have had great success in obtaining these awards in recent years.
  • Villanova Summer 2008 courses for undergraduate Biology majors:
    • Biology 2105: Introductory Biology I ~ Session I
    • Biology 2106: Introductory Biology II ~ Session II
    • Biology 3011: Animal Behavior ~ Session II
    • Biology 3012: Animal Behavior laboratory ~ Session II (optional but strongly recommended companion to Biology 3011)
      NOTE: Villanova Biology majors: courses taken during VU's summer program count normally towards graduation requirements and Villanova GPA
  • Internships

Villanova Summer Session Dates - 2008

  • Session I: 28 May - 25 June
  • Session II: 27 June - 28 July

    Summer school courses taken at another school:

    • School must be a 4-year degree granting college or university
    • Count toward your credits needed for graduation
    • Grades do not get factored into your Villanova GPA
      You will receive a separate transcript for such courses; you can refer to these grades, and use them to recalculate your overall GPA, when applying to post-graduate programs (Med school, graduate school, etc.)

      To insure that you earn credit toward your Villanova degree requirements for courses taken elsewhere:

    • obtain approval for a particular summer course in advance
    • see the Department of Biology or your advisor for details
