This requirement can be met through an approved internship (GEOG 489 or 698), a field work course (GEOG 650), an approved study abroad (GEOG 497), or an approved independent study (GEOG 699). The student can choose the type of experience that best matches their academic and professional goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minor does not require experiential learning. However, all students &#8211; both majors and minors &#8211; are encouraged to seek out one or more internships during their time in college.

For further questions not answered here, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/geography\/people\/choi-woonsup\/\">Professor Woonsup Choi.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The faculty supervisor will work in cooperation with your on-site internship supervisor.

You will need to find an internship with an appropriate business or agency on your own, and then ask a Geography faculty member to supervise it. Or, if you had a class with a Geography faculty member, and want to do an internship related to their research, you can ask that faculty member. They may have suggestions based on community and alumni connections and past students\u2019 internship experiences.&nbsp;Below is a list of businesses and agencies&nbsp;that our students have
