These internships provide the student with the opportunity for a work experience under supervision and can provide a valuable educational experience that would augment the regular academic program.
Internships provide a combination of academic preparation and direct work experience.
The academic portion is under the supervision of a full time faculty member of the University, and this part of the internship is determined by mutual agreement between the intern and the faculty sponsor. The amount of academic credit awarded ranges from four to sixteen hours. See the Undergraduate Coordinator in Harkness 238 to make an appointment. Internships cannot be used as one of the 8 courses required for an economics concentration. However, internships in finance and managerial economics may be used as a 9th course towards a Citation of Special Achievement.
