Student Opportunities and Experience

As a biology student, you will quickly feel part of our tight-knit "Claflin Family" from the classroom to the lab. You will gain the "Claflin Confidence" that has helped so many of our graduates present research findings at national conferences and get into and succeed in graduate schools, medical programs, and professional careers.

Summer and academic year internships are essential for rounding out your resume and getting real-world experience that allows you to make the most out of your future biology career. Internships have been shown to improve grades, heighten understanding of science concepts, and allow you to apply your skills to the real world. Claflin University's School of Natural Sciences offered over 110 academic year and 108 summer research internships for students in the last three years.

The world needs visionaries. Those who are able to imagine what’s possible and chart a course to get there.

More than 150 years ago, Claflin broke down barriers in higher education, making it the first South Carolina university open to all regardless of race. Today, Claflin continues to welcome exemplary students of all races and genders who demonstrate a passion to change not only their own circumstances but to change the world as well.

We believe that most leaders are made, not born. Furthermore, we believe that students with passion, integrity, and a willingness to work hard have an innate capacity to become visionary leaders. As a Claflin student, you are challenged to realize your full potential, leaving here with an unparalleled education that will serve you well in graduate school, in a career – and in life.
