Internships

The School of Business has approximately 20 academic internship opportunities each year. Internships are offered to qualified students on a competitive basis. Students who are interested and qualify should make application as outlined below:

1. Are you at least a junior academically. That is, have you earned sixty-one (61) or more academic credit hours?

2. Do you have at least a 2.75 grade point average?

If you answered YES* to both questions, then contact Mr. Mark Crawford in the School of Business for an Internship Information Packet or read and download here:

Complete the application and return it along with a resume and a short letter stating why you want an academic internship to Mr. Mark Crawford in Jones Hall.

You will be contacted regarding your application by the School of Business Internship Committee. The committee will match students with internship opportunities on a competitive basis to best meet the needs of employers and interns. Among the factors to be considered are: (1) grade point average, (2) credit hours earned, (3) major, (4) emphasis, (5) minor, (6) specific courses completed and (7) presentation skills.

If recommended by the School of Business Internship Committee, the student will then be interviewed by the internship sponsor where the final selection decision will be made.

NOTE: Internships can count for a maximum of 6 credit hours: Three in your emphasis (except accounting and information systems) or minor and three in general electives.

* If you answered NO to either or both questions then you might wish to contact the Career Services office (863-8020) about NON-academic internship opportunities. NON-academic internships provide work experience which could be valuable in career planning but no academic credit.
