Business Internship

Catalog description

The primary goal of the internship experience is to expose students to actual practices in the world of work outside of the classroom, to relate this experience to academic course work and to synthesize the two in a practical application of knowledge in an experiential setting. Secondarily, internships offer the opportunity to develop crucial job searching skills, explore career interests, enhance your resume, make contacts in your chosen field and build references for future employment. Each intern will work in a career-related position during the academic term for which the student is enrolled for the internship completing a minimum of 150 hours on the job per 3 credits. This is an elective internship course intended for College of Online and Continuing Education students who do not have a required internship as part of their program.
