Undergraduates majoring in Environmental Studies or Environmental Science are required to complete an environmental internship. To fulfill this requirement, students may seek out an internship at a local environmental agency or conduct research under the supervision of a faculty member. An internship consists of 100 hours of substantive work in an environmental field under the supervision of a mentor; students must get pre-approval from their academic advisers to be sure their proposed internships qualify for credit.
During the internship, students prepare a portfolio that includes an accounting of how they spent their time, examples of their work, and reflection on the experience. After the internship, students enroll in ENVS 198, Proseminar, where they add to their career portfolios and prepare their plans for after graduation.

All the other documents you need to get approval for an internship and get started on your internship portfolio are found in the Internship Approval Packet. See your academic adviser if you have any questions about the requirements.
Past ESS students have completed many different types of internships, ranging from academic research to working in industry. SCU's career center keeps an up-to-date list of environmental internships and advice on green careers.
