We also have a huge number of graduates working in positions throughout the nation making the possibilities for internships endless. (And all of these positions have been paid positions. So you'll earn while you learn!) Internships are coordinated through Dr. Susan Watkins. You may e-mail her at: swatkin@uark.edu
We can help prepare you as a pre-professional student to become a pharamacist, doctor, dentist or veterinarian...
Our students have gone on to become dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians, registered dieticians and more. Our undergraduate curriculum is on target to give you the background in science you need to hopefully enter a professional school upon completion of your undergraduate studies. We even have an advisor who "specializes" in helping students in this area.
We have the finances to make it all happen...
Last year we distributed over $120,000 in scholarship monies to our students. We have made a concerted effort to secure as much financial support for our students as we possibly can. Numerous industry partners have made the commitment to help us achieve our goals in scholarship aid and have set up provisions within their companies to do so. We're thankful for this tremendous support and look forward to talking with you about a poultry science scholarship. For more information, please see our scholarship web site.
