There is a formal application process which is conducted through the Graduate School. Interested students should apply to Patricia Gerard, Academic Coordinator. Then, students with completed paperwork will work with a CDC counselor to create employer lists and develop job search skills. Application deadlines and adherence to CDC guidelines are strictly observed. Eligibility for participation in the internship program is determined by the Graduate School of Business and usually requires a minimum of three completed academic terms.
Interns earn three academic credits.
The Career Development Center will send introductory letters to employers, along with the student's resume and letter of intent. Students will then contact each employer to inquire about openings and the possibility of an interview. Students are assigned a faculty advisor and report to that advisor periodically during the course of the internship. Employers may also request that they be included in the Center's Employer Contact Database for possible future positions. Employers need not have a formal internship training program in place, but should offer students positions related to their majors that will allow them to develop their skills and learn about the working environment while receiving appropriate levels of supervision.
