Each term (Spring, Summer and Fall), two internship opportunities are available to undergraduate students as a means to provide hands-on learning related to beef cattle management. Students from Maryland and across the United States apply and are selected to participate in the unique program. Of the two available spots each term, one is reserved for a University of Maryland student with the other being open to any interested undergraduate. To date more than 25 students from 7 states have participated in the internship program.
