Internships and Research Opportunities

The environmental science major is unique among the majors in the science department in that it requires an experiential component. This requirement can be fulfilled by completing an internship, undergraduate research

project or an independent study. This experience has several benefits. It provides

• hands-on experience in environmental science

• a chance to explore career plans

• opportunities to make professional contacts in the field

• application of classroom learning to real-world environmental problems

Mount student Marcia Guedes is using a metal detector to find buried acorns marked with small nails for a project investigating acorn dispersal by squirrels at Strawberry Hill Nature Preserve.
