Internship Program
Important Information regarding Spring 2020 Internships:
As outlined earlier by Chancellor Larive, remote instruction for lecture and discussion sections, originally announced through April 3, will extend for the entire spring quarter. We are taking precautionary measures for your own health and safety and will not be offering any in-person internships in Spring quarter. We are in the process of determining how many remote-only internships we can offer in Spring. So far we have a list of "remote" for credit internships that you can view HERE. If you are looking for a 1-unit internship, you can enroll in ENVS 189-Environmental Studies Research Seminar. If you are looking for a 2-unit internship, you can enroll in the research seminar as well but with more requirements. The 2-unit seminar course will be ENVS 184 and the internship office will administer the enrollment code to you. If interested in the 2-unit option, please email us at esintern@ucsc.edu. This course we be held via zoom and is held on Monday's from 12-1:05. For all 2 and 5 unit remote only internships, your faculty sponsor will be Katie Monsen.
THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS HAS CHANGED. PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT UNLESS YOU HAVE FOUND A REMOTE-ONLY INTERNSHIP. PLEASE VIEW INSTRUCTIONS HERE!

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Internships and your education:
Internships allow students to apply the concepts and theories they learn about in academic settings to workplace settings. As an intern, you can see how people relate with one another, test out the theories learned in classes, and observe the inner workings of the work environment in a myriad of different fields and disciplines. Work done outside the classroom brings new depth and meaning to the work done inside the classroom, and enlightens the student to the importance of their academic work. Internships can be as much about finding out what you really like as encountering what it is you do not like.
Help you define your interests:
Many students look at internships as a way to confirm their interest in a given field or discipline. An internship is a way to "taste" a type of work before you've committed to graduate school or working in a full-time position. Internship experiences can help you hone in on your area(s) of interest and focus on the type of work for which you are best suited for and work that you find most interesting.
The Environmental Studies Internship Office is committed to providing students with the necessary resources for finding the best placement for each student.
Interested? You can start the process by communicating directly with the agency, or emailing our office. You can also drop by the office during the hours posted if you would like a more thorough explanation. We placed students in more than 400 internships this past year. And, perhaps we have one waiting for you too!
