NGA is providing internship opportunities to students from a range of majors, including:

- Environmental Studies

- Global Studies

- Linguistics

- Anthropology

- Political Science

- Economics

- Geography

- GIS

- related disciplines

The list above is just an example of majors NGA interns have had in the past. If you do not have any of the majors above, don't fret! There are opportunities at NGA for all majors.
