Internship Resources

Students may apply for internship credit for research conducted off campus during the summer or January. Colby's Environmental Studies Coordinator and program faculty not only help to locate desirable off-campus employment and internship possibilities, but they also help students to match the internship opportunity to their individual academic programs. Stipends from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation are available to help support internships. For more information on the Mellon grant to the Environmental Studies Program see: esmellon. For more information about internships and the process for applying for credit, please visit the college pages on Internships sponsored by Career Services.
