Student Interns receive college credit for working with companies and governmental agencies in areas related to Environmental Science. These can be either paid positions or done on a volunteer basis. Real-world job skills are learned, and students gain valuable experience in their field of interest. Valuable contacts are often made which help students get jobs once they graduate.
