Internships through the Business School
current internships
An internship supplements classroom learning and gives you on the job experience. As an intern, you gain real world skills, and extend your network. You may find the transition from academics to work easier as a result of your internship.
When you become an intern, you can gain
- a greater certainty about your career choices
- greater confidence in the value and professional quality of your skills and abilities
- a better understanding of what it takes to find a job and what it takes to succeed
Getting an internship
Internships are coordinated through the Experiential Learning Center.
Before you can use their online job board to find an internship you must attend an internship orientation to learn what is expected of you and what you can expect from an internship.
You can attend the orientation in person or online. See the Experiential Learning Center, for more information.
Types of opportunities
Academic credit internships
You get experience that can bridge the gap between college and work and earn credit which may be applied toward your major. You will have a faculty sponsor from your major who will administer your internship and they may have specific requirements for you to complete to get the credit.
See the Experiential Learning Center for more information.
Academic credit and Pay internships
Some internships also pay you for your work. These internships earn anywhere between $8.00 and $20.00 an hour depending on the position, your major, and the company. Paid internships with academic credit also require a faculty sponsor from your major to administer the internship.
See the Experiential Learning Center for more information.
Paid internships
Still require a supervisor/mentor and a learning agreement, however since you do not get academic credit, you can start the internship at anytime. The GPA requirement is lower as well (2.0).
See the Experiential Learning Center for more information.
