Students may earn academic credit for fall/spring internships, if they have a design component and the work totals 150 hours. Students may earn three credits for their internship as an ENVD elective.

Students opting to earn credit (three credits total) for a spring or fall internship are required to be registered for the Internship Course, which entails participating in 4 course meetings during the semester, in addition to undertaking the internship. The course dimension requires that students submit three internship reflection papers, compose a “mini-portfolio'' visually demonstrating the internship experience, and provide a classroom presentation about the internship and mini-portfolio. The course meetings occur monthly and consist primarily of professional development exercises. Our main objective for these meetings is to help transform internship work into portfolio graphics. During the final meeting, each student presents on their internship experience and provides the internship graphics they developed for their portfolio. 

Interested students please may complete an internship for credit application available via the following link:

Once I receive that, I will email the internship provider a host agreement form. After the host returns the agreement, I will register you for credit. If you have any questions about the process, please contact Nate (nathan.p.jones@colorado.edu).

Students may earn academic credit for summer internships, if they have a design component and the work totals 150 hours. Students can earn three credits counting towards an ENVD elective.

Students have the option to earn the credit for summer internships in the summer or fall. Students opting for summer credit will have to pay summer tuition. For students opting for fall, the credit will become part of your regular course load (and therefore does not incur an extra cost as long as you don’t exceed 19 credit hours).

For summer credit, I require four internship reflection papers, a couple portfolio pages visually demonstrating your internship experience, and a 5-minute presentation about the experience either via Zoom or when you return to campus for the fall.

For fall credit, students will complete the reflection papers I mention above. They are also required to attend 4 internship course meetings during the semester. These meetings occur monthly and consist primarily of professional development exercises. Our primary objective for these meetings is to help facilitate transforming internship work into an intern’s portfolio. During the final meeting, each student presents on their internship experience and provides the internship graphics they developed for their portfolio.

Interested students will complete an internship for credit application available through the following link: 

Once I receive the application, I will email the internship provider a host agreement form. After the host returns the agreement, I will register the student for credit. Feel free to email me questions regarding the internship program at nathan.p.jones@colorado.edu.
