Internships
Overview
How do you learn best? By doing, of course.
Whatever your major, we make sure your internships put you in the real world of work.
Internships are an essential part of the College of Business student experience, with over 78 percent of students engaging in one or more internships during their time here. These invaluable real-world work experiences give you the opportunity to step out of the classroom and into a real organization. You will collaborate with experienced professionals to complete projects that solve problems and add value. Plus, you may be able to earn academic credit!
