The Environmental Internship Program helps students get placed in internships with local environmental organizations. The internships provide students with valuable professional experience in environmental work and can help prepare students for careers or graduate school in various environmental fields. Students gain academic credit (2 or 4 units) by enrolling in ENST 492.
Students can apply for an internship in the areas of environmental policy and advocacy, environmental science, environmental justice, natural resources management, sustainability, environmental research and communication, and environmental education. Students are guided with resume, personal statement, and application preparation before the internship period.
Internships Available for Spring Semester and Maymester 2025
