Internships in Environmental Studies

Students can pursue an internship in environmental studies for January Plan or the summer. Internships during the January Plan is the most common option elected by environmental studies students. It is the responsibility of the student to identify an appropriate internship opportunity and to complete the college requirements. Beth Kopp, our Environmental Studies Program Coordinator, is a good person to talk with regarding internship possibilities in environmental studies.  The ES Program has endowment funding available on a competitive basis to help support ES majors and minors electing to do internships.

Supervisor and sponsor: Students must obtain an onsite (off-campus) supervisor for their internship activities. In addition, students will need a Colby Environmental Studies Program sponsor.
