Students

Internships are an integral part of your career preparation, enabling you to explore the best fit between academics and professional goals. Internships provide a taste of the real world through hands-on projects supervised by individuals with expertise in a given area, and look great on your resume.

The Career Resource Center and the Credit-Bearing Internship Program work together to develop internship opportunities for School of Management students. Both programs share the online BizLink recruiting system.

Quick Facts

  • Internships can occur in the fall, spring or summer and can be paid or unpaid. 
  • All unpaid internships must be registered for academic credit.
  • Students participating in paid internships may also earn academic credit; some may be required to do so based upon work authorization or degree requirements.
  • Students earning academic credit for summer internships pay tuition, the same as if enrolled in a course. Fall and spring internships are simply rolled up into the cost for full-time tuition unless exceeding 19 credit hours.
  • We're happy to review internships you have found through personal contacts for academic credit.

Where to Begin

  • Search strategies and online resources are available under Search for Internships.
  • Students requesting credit for participation in an internship will work with the Credit-Bearing Internship Program.
