Undergraduate Internships

An internship is required for BBA majors and highly recommended for all business students using catalogs prior to Fall 2013. Up to 6 hours credit can be earned fulfilling the ECCE engagement and/or elective requirement. Internships provide practical work experience while applying theories and concepts learned in the classroom. In the past approximately one in four students has been offered a position with their internship employer. They are great resume builders too.

Student business organizations offer social, service, and professional opportunities for students within the College of Business and Management. Membership can broaden acquaintances, develop leadership abilities, build decision-making and problem-solving skills, and complement classroom instruction.

The Department of Management, Marketing and Operations offers an array of programs that impart knowledge and facilitate the development of critical thinking and analytical skills in all the functional areas of business.
