The Science Internship Program website allows students to find internship and research opportunities, provides guidance for students to obtain academic credit for their internship, access online resources, and sign up for individualized internship advising. Please contact science_internships@csumb.edu for more information.
Many Applied Environmental Science faculty members are conducting grant-funded outreach and education projects in various fields related to our graduate and undergraduate programs. Through these partnerships, faculty provide unique hands-on opportunities for collaborative student research and education/outreach in a variety of communities.
Eight research labs operate within the Department of Applied Environmental Science at CSUMB. Undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students work with their Principal Investigators (P.I.s) in research labs as interns, researchers, and research assistants, contributing to cutting edge research and gaining valuable experience in their field of interest.
