Take advantage of the many summer study opportunities that exist for
Biology majors:
- 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. (Next deadline: 26 Feb 2010.) Biology
majors have had
great success in obtaining these awards in recent years.
- Opportunities also exist for involvement in research at
Villanova—including both laboratory and
field activities—that is not necessarily
be associated with the grant program described above.
Listing of
current opportunities

Summer research programs at other institutions
To help students identify and secure summer research positions—including
NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU programs)—we maintain a listing of program advertisements
that have come to the attention of members of the department. You can review
these listings by opening the link above.
We update the content of the PDF file on a regular basis, so check back
often.
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 formal approval for a particular summer course in advance,
from the Department of Biology (for BIO majors)
- see the Department of Biology or your advisor for details
