Undergraduate Student Internship information and forms
Internship Process
Once you have made the decision to pursue an internship, follow these steps:
- Prepare a Resume for yourself. Be sure to discuss your education, major, relevant classes, work experience, etc.
- Think about what interests and excites you in an internship or job.
- Think about what sort of experience or organization you would like to add to your Resume by doing an Internship.
- Find an internship of interest to you either on the "Positions" page or in the ENVS office, or through your own research of government, non-profit, or for-profit companies.
- Once you find an internship, apply for it using your Resume and whatever materials they ask for.
- In the internship interview, whether by phone or in person, talk about your interests and skills. Ask about the sorts of projects you will be working on.
- Once you and the Internship Host agree on the internship, together you complete the Internship Agreement form. Some key points about internships:
- You cannot be paid for an internship, however, you can receive room and board, and/or transportation.
- The usual Internship earns you 3 academic credits for 150 hours of work.
- Internships can range from 1 to 3 credit hours.
- You must work 50 hours for each credit hour.
- In an Internship you must be given one or more projects that you can work on with a lot or a little supervision, for which you have some responsibility, and that have some sort of outcome. You cannot simply be additional office or lab help.
- Meet with the faculty sponsor Dale Miller to review and have your Agreement approved.
- Register for Internship Credit, which shows on your schedule as a class.
- There are on-campus requirements of you in order to receive academic credit.
- The Internship class (ENVS 3930) will meet a few times during the semester; you will be notified when.
- At the end of the Internship, you will write a paper and complete an Evaluation of Internship), as well as do a short presentation to the class about your internship.
- Your Internship Host must do an evaluation of you (which ENVS sends to him or her).
