All of the organizations listed below have updated (or are currently updating) their sites for 2010, or offer opportunities on an annual basis. Click here to see those organizations that still have 2009 co-op/internship information. Check back frequently for more 2010 updates that will be posted as they become available.

This website lists opportunities from the larger Biology & Biotechnology Co-op Opportunities on the Web offered by organizations that MAY consider applications from undergraduates who are in their first year when applying or will have completed the first year by the time the co-op/internship starts (i.e, be considered second-year students at the start of the co-op/internship). However, some of these organizations simply do not provide any eligibility requirements or, if they do, do not mention anything about a year-level requirement. Other criteria in addition to year-level may also apply. So, you should check the eligibility criteria provided at the underlined co-op link for each organization to determine if you are, indeed, eligible (or contact the organization if the information on the co-op link is not clear).
