During the semester prior to doing an internship, students must complete an application that provides information regarding courses completed, academic standing, specific interests and skills or experience. The Director and Staff C oordinator review the application before a student is allowed to view the sponsor list and arrange interviews. Completed applications are due approximately one month before pre-registration for the next semester. Available positions are listed in the Environmental Studies office and are available only to students applying that semester. The student chooses three sponsors with areas of interest and sets up an interview with each agency contact person.
Intern positions are available only on an unpaid basis.
