Specialization/Electives/Internship (6 semester hours)
Students may complete an approved internship with a company, government agency or national laboratory. The purpose of the internship program is to train and equip students for future careers as environmental professionals. It provides the opportunity for students to experience first-hand actual environmental challenges in government, industry, public interest groups and scientific research organizations. The program reaches beyond the campus to provide practical experience individually tailored to each student's academic goals and capabilities.
Part-time students who already work in their area of study may fulfill the internship requirement by working on a special project with their current employer. All projects require approval from the program director. At the conclusion of this internship, students must present a summary of their internship project(s) in both oral and written form.
