Past Student-Facilitated Research
Since the BFS' summer internship program began in 1974, hundreds of college undergraduate and high school students have participated in research at the Biological Field Station. Students are also involved in research at the BFS under the guidance of SUNY Oneonta faculty via Directed Research and Independent Study opportunities during the academic year; students are generally associated with the Biology Department, though the BFS is a resource intended for all academic departments at SUNY Oneonta. Student research projects are described and presented in each year's BFS Annual Report (see our Publications page for reports back to 1984).
