实习
实习 are a great way to obtain real-world work experience and make personal contacts in your field of interest before you graduate.
实习 are an encouraged, 但可选, part of the undergraduate curriculum in the 地理位置 Department. Most internships are completed by juniors and seniors because students at that level have a solid background of geography coursework.
Many undergraduate students find their own internship opportunities through internship clearing houses, such as the Student Conservation Association (SCA.org), or directly from nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, or private businesses. A few internship opportunities are prestigious, 有选择性的, and seek applicants annually (National Geographic Society, 国家气象局), 但大多数都不是. Some agencies and companies offer student interns pay, while others don't.
Whether an internship is paid, students have the option of earning GEOG 4910实习 credit hours for most internship experiences. 了解更多信息, students should contact their adviser or any faculty member in the 地理位置 Department.

Receiving Academic Credit for 实习
Internship Course (GEOG 4910)
地理位置 majors interested in the internship course, GEOG 4910 credit must contact an newbb电子平台 地理位置 faculty member to serve as the academic supervisor for the internship. 招收, a professor will provide the student with the course call number for his or her section of GEOG 4910. The professor will need the contact information for the student's field supervisor at the internship.
学分
The number of credit hours to be earned and whether the internship will receive a letter grade (A-F) or be taken for credit (CR) are determined in consultation with the professor. 通常, each credit hour of GEOG 4910 represents two hours of internship work per week during a 15-week semester. Although GEOG 4910 can be taken for 1-12 credit hours, a maximum of only 5 credit hours (combined) of GEOG 4910 and GEOG 4930 will count toward a geography major (any track). In addition, the College of Arts & Sciences allows a maximum of 15 hours of coursework (combined total) taken for "CR" to apply toward the 120 hours required for graduation.
级选项
收到CR, rather than a letter grade in GEOG 4910, students submit to their professor a brief summary of the number of hours spent and the principal accomplishments, 技能, 知识, and/or understanding derived from the internship. In addition to the information required for CR, a gradable product must be submitted to earn a letter grade in GEOG 4910. The nature of the product is determined in consultation with the supervising professor at the start of the internship and depends to some extent on the nature of the position. It most typically is a "term-paper like" paper or report.
