To help you decide, below is a list of the more popular majors and types of internships they are associated with. Remember, there's nothing to stop you from applying for any internship you wish. Planning Politics Students will be assigned to a specific person who will be their supervisor for the course of the internship. While a student may be expected to perform routine, mundane work at the beginning, a willingness and enthusiasm in carrying out these tasks invariably will be rewarded with more interesting, challenging, and stimulating assignments later on. The EPA staff keep in touch with both student and supervisor, make site visits and ask the supervisor for a written report at the end of the program.
Students work eight hours a day, five days per week.
It is left to you, and the person to whom you are assigned, to work out your timetable of work at the beginning of the program. You may request a particular institution, organization, department, etc. However, EPA cannot guarantee the placement. While EPA makes every effort to meet your wishes, it may be that they know of a place in which you might be better suited. Or possibly, the place you request may be unable to take an intern in your particular program.
