A Dynamic Partnership
A successful internship program is a dynamic partnership between the student, the employer, and the university. Today, students are faced with countless choices, overwhelming information and competing demands. They are required to understand and master broader skills in an increasingly complex and changing world.

The Power of Learning
In addressing these realities, the College of Business Administration embraces the opportunity to complement classroom learning with valuable work experience through our Internship Program. The power of experiential learning can transform any student’s educational experience by moving knowledge out of the classroom and into the world of action where ideas can be tested and workplace skills can be developed.
