Computer use is free for all students. This building, dedicated at Homecoming 1995, greatly expands the facilities available to students in these departments. A key ingredient of Luther's business program is the internship. Students gain valuable experience in a wide variety of professions through internship opportunities. More internships are available at other times, including the summer months.
Internships vary from three to eight weeks in length and carry credit accordingly.
Many Luther students earn wages as they learn. However, the greatest benefit of the internship is an increased awareness of the business world at a time when the experience can still be related to the formal learning process on campus. Of Luther College business majors who participated in senior internships last year, more than 90 percent secured full-time employment because of their experience. Organizations that have hosted Luther students as interns over the past few years are Arthur Andersen, KPMG Peat Marwick, First Bank Systems, Rockwell International, Lutheran Brotherhood, John Deere, the Minnesota Orchestra, Banker's Trust, and J.C. Penney. Foreign Study Programs Faculty members in the economics and business department have extraordinary experience in international matters, both academic and commercial.
