The College of Science and Engineering Tutoring Center offers a variety of learning assistance and chemistry- and biochemistry-specific tutors.
Many of our students participate in the annual COSE Research Colloquium. This provides our students an opportunity to gain experience with the presentation of their research results to a larger community as well as allows them to experience the breadth of research activity at St. Cloud State.
Supplement your classroom learning with appropriate on-the-job work experience arranged with local, state, and federal government agencies or private corporations.
Academic credit for internship experience is granted at the discretion of the faculty advisors.
Search for an NSF REU site either by broad areas such as chemistry, materials research, and biological sciences or by specific research areas/keywords and/or state.
