Internships

Every business major completes an internship as a graduation requirement. This practical, hands-on work, strengthens resumes, confirms career interests, and often leads to full-time jobs.  Most internships are well paid.  Students can earn up to four units of academic credit.  A majority of internships are completed in the summer but some occur during the school year.  Internships are available in accounting, finance, information systems, law, management, marketing, and general business operations at a variety of organizations, including Fortune 500 corporations, local small businesses, hospitals, federal/state governments, and other nonprofits.
