Internship Information
The College of Business highly recommends that students attain some sort of related work
experience during their college years. Many students plan to do an internship the summer
before their senior year, but others are fortunate enough to do more than one internship
during their tenure in the College of Business. Do as many as you can. The more work
experience you can gather the better able you will be to make career decisions, see relevance
in your major courses, and WOW the recruiters in your search for that first position.
Resources available to you in your search for an internship include:
- Your Academic Department. Be sure to stay in communication by reading your
department's email (COBMail Groups), and participating in any internship
related events. Also be aware that you may receive academic credit for internship experience
once you are in the upper division level program. See your academic advisor for specific
information pertinent to the internship program in your department. As a junior be sure to
take the Careers Course offered in your academic department for help with your resume and the
job/internship search.
