Introducing bsop

The Biological Sciences Opportunity Portal (BSOP) is a new, centralized database for BSCI Terps to find and EXPLORE research, internship, and scholarship opportunities in the Biological Sciences both at Maryland and BEYOND.

How does it work?

BSOP uses a feature called Status to signal whenever the application window for a given opportunity is LIVE 🔴, meaning Terps can go ahead and prioritize applying to opportunities such as extracurricular research, summer fellowships, and other programs that are actively recruiting students.

BSOP also maintains an ARCHIVED🗃️ record of extracurricular experiences that may become available to Terps in another semester (COMING SOON🕰️) or that students can always read into further should the opportunity align with their interests and career goals (CHECK WEBSITE 🌐).

Advisors help students prioritize and track w/ Status

“I like the view.”

When exploring BSOP on your laptop or desktop computer, toggle and turn on Gallery view to explore opportunities with rich illustrated graphics and images.

If you’re on a mobile device, use Grid view for increased context and accessibility.

Bookmark. Explore. Apply.

CRUSH FOMO AND STAY IN THE KNOW W/ “LIVE ON BSOP”

Follow the Biological Sciences Undergraduate Program @bsciumd and turn on story notifications to learn about the latest opportunities that are going LIVE🔴 on BSOP.

Great partners power live opportunities
