Finding Service Learning and Internship Courses
At Cal Poly Humboldt, Service Learning courses are identified by the letter "S" at the end of the course number (for example, ENST 490S - Environmental Studies Capstone Experience with Service Learning). Additionally, frequently the words "service learning" are included in the course title (as in the example above).
At Cal Poly Humboldt, Academic Internship courses have the word "Internship" in the course title and their course numbers typically end in "82" (for example, Art 482 - Museum & Gallery Practices Internship).
The Class Schedule is posted every semester and it contains the specific class offerings planned for the upcoming semester.
During the registration period, navigate to the Cal Poly Humboldt Class Schedule page to search for all class opportunities of interest to you. You may also perform the same search using the Class Search functionality in your Student Center.
When you arrive on the Class Search page, make sure to select the semester for which you plan on registering from the Term dropdown menu. Note that no more than 1-2 semesters' schedules are planned into the future and posted for your browsing.
Next, select the Additional Search Criteria item to expand it. From the Course Attribute dropdown menu, select Internship OR Service Learning. Lastly, select the Search button to see the list of classes that match your search criteria.

Note that the search criteria will default to undergraduate and open classes. You may change these criteria by selecting Postbaccalaureate from the Course Career dropdown menu or unchecking the Show Open Classes Only Internships checkbox.
The Course Catalog is posted annually and it contains a list of all active courses in the Cal Poly Humboldt repertoire. Not all of these courses are offered every semester. To learn how to view the specific semester's offerings, check out the instructions above.
To peruse the Cal Poly Humboldt Course Catalog, navigate to the Catalog page, then in the top portion of the navigation bar, locate the Catalog Search criteria.
The first criterion will default to Entire Catalog, but to find courses, select Courses from the dropdown menu.
Then, in the search bar below, enter Internship OR Service Learning, select the Whole Word/Phrase checkbox below, and finally select the magnifying glass icon at the end of the search bar.
