All PTRM students earn three credits to complete a professional internship. Montana’s outdoor industry is the fastest growing in the U.S. and represents the second-largest sector of the state’s economy offering many opportunities for students. Through the vast connections of PTRM faculty, the W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation, and the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research at UM, students can easily connect to an array of jobs and internships to set them up for a pathway to their desired career. PTRM students participate in ElevateU, a University of Montana career readiness program, to begin preparing for careers from the start of their degree to build meaningful professional experiences so they are competitive for the workforce when they graduate. View internship guidelines
