Environmental Scholars Program: Field internship research opportunities in environmental science, policy, and education, by application. Minors participating in this program whose research is in environmental science receive credit toward the minor for one of the two Scholars semesters in the specialized science area. Scholar minors focusing on policy and education receive credit in the specialized policy area. Environmental Scholars is open to all students with preference given to juniors and seniors. See the Environmental Scholars Program page for more information.
