All undergraduate business students must successfully complete a comprehensive internship as part of the BBA program. The internship is a period of guided work experience designed to acquaint students with culture and values of professional and practical work environments.
Normally, the internship takes place in the summer term directly following the completion of the junior year. Students must apply for the summer Internship (through an on-line application) by March 31, and to provide the School with an employer’s acceptance by May 1.

All students applying for the internship program must be juniors who have completed FINA210, MNGT215, MKTG210, INFO200 and at least 38 credit hours if they were admitted to the University as sophomores, or at least 68 credit hours if they were admitted to the University as freshmen. Normally, internships are assigned and/or allocated by the Internship and Placement Officer. However, students may solicit their own internships.

Other internship requirements are as follows:

• The internship is normally two months in duration and takes place during the summer term (i.e., any two months between June 15 and August 31)

• The student must comply with the policy of the host company regarding working hours

• The work week must not be less than 5 working days

• The student will be supervised by a faculty member throughout the internship period

• The internship is graded. The grade is based on the evaluations of both the direct work supervisor and the OSB faculty supervisor

• The internship grade is included in the computation of the student’s overall average
