Internship Program Internships provide business students with the opportunity to apply administrative theory and skills during a supervised practical work experience. The sponsoring organization provides a comprehensive view of its operation and meaningful assignments. Students are also given the opportunity to develop their problem-solving skills by identifying a specific problem within the organization and then acting as a consultant in solving that problem. The internship program is available to junior and seniors for three hours of academic credit. The cooperative education program integrates classroom theory with paid work experience relating to the student's academic major or career objective.
Students can earn up to six hours of elective credit each semester and up to eighteen total hours.
Cooperative education is an optional program and is available to sophomores, juniors or seniors who have received departmental approval. This unique program may be completed in one year with a minimum of 30 semester hours if the student has completed the preparatory core courses. Students may, if they choose, take up to six years to complete the program. The general management orientation of the program provides skills and credentials for middle and upper management positions in businesses and non-profit organizations. Classes meet on Friday evenings and on Saturdays.
