Internships
Internships are an excellent way to get experience in a particular field. They can be completed through UMW for academic credit, or not.
- Internships taken for academic credit do count toward the Beyond the Classroom/Experiential Learning requirement
- Internships do not count toward the Geography or Geospatial Analysis major
- A 3-credit internship can be used as the capstone for the GIS Certificate (GISC 499)
- To register for an internship, use the Academic Internship Contract on the Registrar’s page
Some resources for Geography internships include:
- Geography Department Bulletin Board
- Mary Washington Geography Group on Linked In
- Center for Career and Professional Development (UC Suite 206)
- University of Oregon Internship Agencies
- GIS Clearinghouse
- MyGISJobs Internships
- Student Conservation Association Internships
To apply for an internship, you need a resume, cover letter and references. Start working on those now!
