The Center for Business and Economics at Elmhurst College has an academic program for selected students to integrate classroom learning with actual organization experience. The following are some of the frequently asked questions regarding the Internship Program. Further questions should be directed to Dr. Terry A. Madoch. Faculty of the Center for Business and Economics select students, using personal observations of maturity and motivation, student interest and grade point average as primary criteria.
Placement is handled by the coordinator of the program after consulting with all parties.
Firms may veto the selection and are encouraged to actively participate in the screening process. We want the participating organizations to be totally satisfied with the program. These include Business Administration, Economics, Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing. They may also be involved in one of the interdisciplinary majors such as Transportation Management, Chemistry-Business, Public Administration, or International Business. Whether this intern stays with only one assignment during the semester or rotates among several is a decision for the firm.
