Application Process
Internships in Environmental Studies
Informational Meeting
Early in each semester, students (typically second semester sophomores, juniors and seniors) should take the initiative to meet with internships coordinator. At the conclusion of the meeting, students who are interested in pursuing an internship for the next term are asked to begin familiarizing themselves with the process and schedule an appointment with a faculty member to make a preliminary determination of eligibility and to discuss particular interests.
