Through
its Internship in Business course, the department provides
an internship opportunity for all BUEC students who want
to enhance their credentials. The Internship in Business
class involves practical field experience with a business
or non-profit organization in a specific discipline: Accounting,
Economics, Finance, International Business, Management,
Marketing, or MIS.
A
student works in a professional capacity for eight to ten
hours per week during the semester, usually on a project
determined by the sponsoring organization. The course also
includes periodic reports and oral presentations. In past
semesters students have benefited from assignments with
accounting firms, banks, manufacturing companies, restaurants,
radio and television stations, investment firms, credit
unions, schools and colleges, United Way agencies, department
stores, sporting goods stores, and many more.
Applications
for internships are available from the Chair of the Department
in the semester preceding the internship period. The Internship
in Business course is considered to be a college free elective
and may not be used to satisfy any major requirements or
Business electives. It should be noted that college credit
is generally not given for summer internships.
