# Business Management and Marketing Internships

## About The Internships

General information about university internship requirements and registration can be found on the BYU-Idaho Internship page.

****Students must be registered for Business Management or Marketing internships BEFORE the third week of school.**** Past experience will generally not be counted towards an internship. Business Management and Marketing students are to complete 2 internships: BUS 298R and BUS 398R for Business Management majors, and MKT 298R and MKT 398R for Marketing majors.

All internships must be pre-approved and registered for before the student begins the internship experience. If you are in the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 visa, you will need approval and work authorization from International Services before starting an internship.

****The student is responsible to:****

- Complete necessary prerequisites for the internship experience.
- Find an internship/job opportunity.
- Read the instructions.
- Go to the BYU-Idaho Internship site and complete the Initial Internship Approval paperwork found under the Internship Approvals tab.
- Ensure employer/internship provider registers online and signs the Master Internship Agreement with BYU-Idaho.
- When the internship is approved, the BYU-Idaho Internship Office will send you an email letting you know you can register yourself for the internship.
- If a student doesn't complete his or her homework assignments, he or she will not pass the internship and therefore not be eligible to graduate.
