GLES M.A. graduates are prepared for advanced research, professional employment, or study at the Ph.D. level. GLES M.S. students are prepared for leadership roles in industry, consulting firms, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and governmental agencies that deal with the management of resources within the Great Lakes and surrounding watershed. During their graduate program, GLES M.S. students must do an internship (GLC 688) during the second year of their program. The resources available on this webpage have been designed to help GLES students identify career and internship opportunities in the environmental science field.
Internship, full-time, and part-time job opportunities are provided by the Career & Professional Education (CAPE) office through BengalLink. For technical support, contact CAPE. CAPE provides many services to assist students in their career decision-making, graduate school planning, job and internship searching and pursuit of volunteer and service learning opportunities. Internships are also available through The New York State Internship Program.
Do you want to see where GLES M.S. students have completed their internships and learn about the projects they have worked on? Their experiences are summarized in these internship profiles (PDF, 817KB). As you will see, GLES M.S. interns have worked for a variety of agencies on projects ranging from studying invasive species, to designing a restoration project, to contributing to watershed management, and to studying macroinvertebrates in the Great Lakes watershed.

Environmental scientists work in applied fields and interdisciplinary settings, analyzing the effects humans have on the environment and the plants and animals that inhabit it. From agriculture to healthcare to industry, environmental scientists teach, research, and work in business to help humans understand our work.
