Geography Internships

An internship should provide you with an opportunity to:

apply classroom knowledge,
gain practical experience and additional knowledge,
acquaint yourself with professional work,
get a head start on job search and career development,
begin networking opportunities with alumni, and
for some, learn teaching skills.

Regular Internship (GEOG 495)

Geography 495 provides students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to the real world, while earning academic credits. Throughout this experience, students gain resume-building experience and professional recommendations. And, like many internships, the internship might even lead to a job after graduation.

Read the internship application instructions.

Teaching Internship (GEOG 495B)

Note that details of a teaching internship should be worked out directly with the faculty member with whom you are working. That faculty member will also assign you your grade. Students working on teaching internships should sign up for Geography 495B.

Other Internship Opportunities

The Department of Geography offers a wide array of internships to undergraduates. Read about other internship opportunities.
