Undergraduates
Through our many partnerships across Penn, several opportunities exist for undergraduate students to pursue hands-on training in environmental health sciences.
Academically Based Community Service (ABCS) Courses
CEET collaborates with the Netter Center to offer and promote ABCS courses in environmental health sciences. ABCS courses involve hands-on, real-world problem solving and help students become active, participating citizens of a
democratic society. Key offerings include:
ENVS 1615: Urban Environments: Speaking About Lead in West Philadelphia
ENVS 1665: Air Pollution: Sources & Effects in Urban Environments
ENVS 1650: The Role of Water in Urban Sustainability & Resiliency
ENVS 3445: Latinx Environmental Justice
Summer Undergraduate Internship Program (SUIP)
Supported by IDEAL Research and Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS), SUIP is an intensive summer research opportunity for undergraduate students—to develop laboratory and research skills essential for future graduate school experiences. Students are paired with BGS faculty based on research interests and engage in supplemental training activities, including weekly faculty-led research seminars, training in the Responsible Conduct of Research, preparation for giving scientific presentations, graduate school application sessions, various social and cultural activities, and end-of-program poster presentations. Many CEET faculty members participate as mentors in SUIP!
