Internship Application Form(PDF)

The Earth & Planetary Sciences Internship Program provides year-round opportunities with local companies and agencies to advanced students seeking work placements related to Earth & planetary sciences topics.  The internship involves both work at the internship site and development of the academic context of the work through either company/agency or campus resources.  The student enrolls in EART 198 (Earth & Planetary Sciences Internship) after his/her placement is arranged via the department's Internship Director.  The final paper for the internship develops each student’s skills in the writing and revising of professional reports.  Studentss may receive 2 or 5 units of academic credit for work during one quarter, and some internships also provide a salary.  Students may receive credit for internships completed during the summer or any quarter of the academic year.  Application forms are available online, at the staff advisor's office, and at announced meetings prior to the beginning of each quarter.
