Internships offer educational experiences in a professional environment through which students gain chances to integrate the theory with the actual practice of business solutions. Internships have become a necessary component of higher education — they enable students to be discerning about the type of work they wish to pursue (and don't wish to pursue) after graduation; they offer experiences that are very different from classroom learning; they show future employers that they have experience working in a true business setting. Often, a positive internship experience can lead to a post-graduation position.
At the Grossman School of Business, we work collaboratively with our students to convey the very best internships, as well as the resources for landing these spots.
Who Should Intern
We encourage all students to find pre-professional work experiences. Business students can earn up to six elective credits in conjunction with an internship experience. Contact Grossman School of Business Center for Student Success for more information.
