BUS 391 - Business Internship

(1, 3)

Internships involve a minimum of ten hours of work a week for ten weeks (or equivalent) in a professional setting with an approved employer-supervisor in a business or nonprofit organization. This course may be taken for one or three credits. For one credit, academic work includes meetings with the professor, goal setting, a final paper, and an assessment from the employer-supervisor. For three credits, additional academic work includes readings, seminars/workshops, reflective journals, and a major paper/presentation. A three-credit major or minor requirement may also be fulfilled by repeating the one credit course a minimum of three times. If taken multiple times with the same employer, new goals must be determined each time. For business and accounting majors, the internship must be in the student’s major discipline for the course to fulfill a major or minor requirement. Prerequisites: BUS 101, ACCT 203, and approval of the internship professor.
