Masters in Sustainability
Graduate Handbook
2. Develop a Work Plan. The Work Plan should include a review of the work to be completed at the host institution along with a timeline of deliverables. The student’s advisor is responsible for ensuring that the Internship has appropriate rigor and duration for 6 academic credit hours (minimum of 28 hours off campus per credit hour). It is expected that the Work Plan will include a statement as to the significance of the Internship to applied issues in sustainability. It must also include a literature review. 3. Internship Report. The Internship Report is submitted to the advisor for evaluation and must be publicly presented by the end of the semester of graduation. This presentation could be an oral presentation for the entire department and/or a poster at the university wide Graduate Research Session. 4. A copy of the Internship Report must be available in the Department for review at least two weeks prior to the presentation.
