Environmental Health Sciences Practicum

To meet practicum requirements prior to graduation, many Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) students elect to complete a one-term, full-time (between 150-300 hours total) practicum experience during the summer between the first and second year of the program. The practicum can take various forms depending on your area of interest, from participation in an ongoing research or evaluation project to working with a government agency or community-based organization.

Once you identify a practicum opportunity of interest, you must obtain advisor approval (via email) and submit a Scope of Work form online. Upon successful completion of the practicum, you must promptly submit a practicum completion form online to meet your graduation requirement. EHS students in the Global Health Certificate complete their practicum with a six-month internship abroad that spans the first summer through the fall of the second year.
