Our Office Values
The purpose of the School of Business Office of Internship Services is to add value: for students, by facilitating and enhancing their career prospects; for organizations, by developing business professionals who meet their needs and stimulate innovation; for the university, by collaborating across the community; and for business disciplines, by producing and disseminating timely and relevant scholarship.
A high-quality education should offer several opportunities for students to develop their professional skills. One of the ways to integrate academic learning with real-world experience is through an internship. Students participate in practical, hands-on activities that allow them to put into practice many of the skills they have been learning in the classroom. With enormous pride, the Office of Internship Services works with students to offer internships designed to take each student to the next step on their career path. Internships provide valuable experience to students and serve the business community. Many employers hire interns to fill short-term project or seasonal needs and recruit new employees. The Office of Internship Services cooperates with organizations to provide a wide variety of opportunities that offer real-world application of concepts learned in the classroom. Supervision is provided for the student at the internship site by a designated on-site supervisor.
