A recent independent poll found that nearly half (47 percent) of executives rated professional experience as the most important quality in hiring new graduates - more than the type of degree earned (18 percent) and more than grade point average (17 percent). You can gain professional experience as an intern while earning up to six hours of elective credit towards your business administration degree program.
Internships are available for up to six hours of elective credit. Always check with your advisor as to the number of hours you need and the approval process to earn credit. You should work with your business advisor and Career Services to learn of the opportunities available.
To learn more about earning credit for internships please contact Lori Marcellus at 1(815) 753-1325 or email at bsbarockford@niu.edu..
