Geography Internships

Our department maintains an extensive network of geography internship opportunities to help prepare you for life after graduation. As an intern, you can gain practical experience while applying your skills outside of the classroom, as well as college credit through GEOG 4890: Cooperative Work Experience (1-6 credits).

WSU Career Services can also help with job and internship searches, interview and application prep, and so much more.

How to Sign Up

 
  • Look for internship opportunities the department sends to students through Wildcat, or seek out an internship on your own.
