In almost all cases students can receive academic credit for working in an internship.
Class credit can be obtained for both paid and non-paid internships, as well as for
local and international internship experiences. All internship classes are worth
three credit hours and in many cases count in a major. We also have elective credit opportunities for
students whose major or catalog year do not have a place for a major specific internship
class. There is a process to enroll in an internship class and this page will walk
you thorough that process. International students interested in an internship must
be enrolled in class but should also check with the international office about other
parameters surrounding internship for international students.
Begin looking for an internship several months before you hope to begin. Many of our
faculty member are great resources for helping students find internships. Be sure
that you build a relationship with a faculty member or two in your area of study and
begin talking with them about internship contacts. They can also send out a resume
for you on your behalf. Talk with the appropriate faculty member listed below, based
on your major, to let them know you are interested in finding an internship and provide
the faculty member with a copy of your resume. You should also look for internship
postings on Handshake, LinkedIn, Indeed, and more. Visit the Center for Career Development and Internships to get assistance if needed.
Here is also a list of Internships that were sent directly to our office: Open Internships
Read the Internship Fact Sheet to get the basic information and review all information in the table below.
College of Business juniors, seniors, and MBA students are eligible to participate in an internship if they meet specified criteria based on the student's degree program. These College of Business internships will award 3 hours of academic credit toward your major. Contact Student Services to confirm your eligibility, where you will also find help to fill out all of the appropriate forms, review your catalog for the appropriate class to place you in, confirm your GPA requirement and will be sure that you have met all class pre-requisites. They will also assist you in getting registered for class.
Before you can be enrolled in the internship class, you will need to have completed and submitted the INTERNSHIP AGREEMENT and a full job description to the Student Services Office.
*To use the fillable form, you must save it to your computer first.
Once all of those documents are submitted, your package of information will be submitted
to the appropriate instructor for approval. After all requirements have been met
and the internship has been approved by the appropriate members in the College of
Business and Technology, you will then receive help getting registered for the appropriate
internship class.
Unlike other classes, the internship class does not meet every week. Once the class
begins it is YOUR responsibility to follow the syllabus and turn all time sheets and
other assignments in on time. Be sure to contact your instructor if you have any questions
or need some guidance.
