Through a 40-hour minimum internship, students gain professional experience in applying the skills and methods associated with a B.S. degree in environmental studies or environmental science. In addition to working at the internship site, students critically evaluate their site for sustainability practices and environmental impact, submitting weekly reports to their faculty sponsor that address these issues, among others. Students must follow the internship requirements developed by the staff of the Harrington Center for Experiential Learning. This internship opportunity does not satisfy the internship requirement for the majors (ENV485).
