Internships
An internship for academic credit in international business is employment, compensated or not, that gives you practical experience in international activities within a corporation. International business majors who discover an internship opportunity involving at least 200 total hours (can be 13-15 hours/week for 15 weeks, 20 hours/week for 10 weeks, or 25 hours/week for 8 weeks) can request clearance to register for INTB 4800 for the academic semester when the internship is to take place. It is recommended that you first complete MARK 3000, MGMT 3000, FINA 3000 and MIST 3000. The internship must include substantial responsibilities/assignments related to international business. INTB 4800 equates to a three (3) credit hour course, which can be taken only once, and it satisfies the "major elective" requirement of the international business major, or may be used as a general elective.
(Summer).
To participate, submit an internship agreement form the semester preceding the one you plan to do your internship (before final exams), to Sally Vandiver for approval by the Associate Dean for Academic Programs. There is a limit of 15 participants per semester, so plan ahead, especially for summer semesters.
