Through various courses that they take within the College, students may conduct audits of single departments or processes, or of an entire organization.
Audits allow students to observe in practice what they are learning in class.
By structuring a student experience around an audit, we are able to link the experience to the content of a particular class and show the participating business the kind of information and access the students will need. For example, a group of students in a marketing class could conduct an audit of an organization s marketing department and programs. The students observations and recommendations, which often are quite insightful, are presented to the participating business. Students and faculty involved in audits will sign confidentiality agreements if requested. Internships often provide a low risk way for a business to cultivate a relationship with a student that might lead to full time employment after graduation.
