A business internship and scholarship support will also be available to students accepted into the Institute. As a result of a generous endowment by Gordon and Marilyn Macklin and the vision of Dr. Charlene Nunley, MC President and her staff, Montgomery College is able to offer our outstanding business transfer students this very special program. After completion of your freshman year of work in one of our business transfer curricula you will enter a sophomore year program which will include Honors work in Economics, Statistics and other core business courses, both faculty and corporate executive mentoring and a business internship. A mentoring relationship with a local corporate executive will also be created for each student who participates in the Institute program. This mentoring relationship will include an internship where the student will be offered a real-world view of corporate business in action.
Internships offer career exploration and provide a hands on experience.
Students who complete internships are more marketable and may sometimes even be led into a permanent job. A student intern also has the chance to develop good references and has the opportunity for networking. Students will acquire experience and skills that will enhance their personal growth and development and at the same time legitimize theoretical classroom learning and provide feedback in real world terms.
