CDC offers summer internships, which are highly dependent upon student initiative. Students must identify the desired agency then submit a proposal for credit to CDC. These internships are not restricted to the Broome County area and may be taken anywhere in the United States. Summer internships may be taken for two credits (OCC 494) or four credits (OCC 394), depending upon the needs of the students and the hours of participation in the internship. The academic component of the program is the focal point, as students are assigned a faculty leader who assigns and grades all academic work. For additional information about the internship programs contact CDC at 607-777-4273.

Discovery/Center for Academic Excellence

Established in 1993 and currently located in the College-in-the-Woods Library. A component of the Discovery Program, the CAE is a valuable campus resource for students. Its mission is to provide Binghamton students with individualized and small-group tutoring to help them succeed in their studies. The CAE is part of the campus Discovery program, an initiative to increase students' learning through collaborative teaching and student-centered classes.

Tutors at the CAE, current Binghamton University graduate and undergraduate students, are carefully chosen, not only for their academic abilities, but also for their desire to help and ability to work closely with other students. Tutors receive training in how best to help students develop their understanding of course content as well as study and test-taking skills. The CAE is open five days a week, and tutors are available at times convenient for students.

The CAE offers free tutoring in a number of courses across a wide range of disciplines, from courses in science and mathematics to courses in languages, composition, philosophy, accounting and economics.

In addition to tutoring, the CAE offers students a friendly place for individual or group work. A small collection of textbooks is available for tutor and student use, and computer terminals link users to the campus' computing network.
