The purpose of the internship is to provide a means by which students can receive academic credit for educational experiences received in a work environment that cannot be provided by the Lewis College of Business. Students approved for internship credit will actually register for a university course and are required to pay tuition for the credits they receive. All proposals for an internship must clearly identify the educational benefits that will accrue to the student before the internship will be approved. A student may earn up to a maximum of 6 credit hours of internship; a maximum of 6 credit hours can be earned in one semester, provided the student is working in a full time, co-op experience and not enrolled as a full-time student. Every 200 hours worked equals three credit hours. Internship credit may be earned during regular semesters or summer sessions. Students must register for internship credit during the semester in which they are working the internship. A grade of Credit/No Credit will be assigned by the division head upon completion of internship requirements. Students will be required to submit a journal or report of his/her experience. Students can check with the dean’s office about how internship credit will count toward their degree.

Students who register for a Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing internship and are majoring in that field will receive credit toward a Management elective, Management Information Systems elective, or Marketing elective, respectively. Students can only apply credit toward one Management or Marketing elective. For students who take an internship twice, the second three hours will be counted toward free elective hours. They will not apply toward an additional required elective. Students who complete an internship in Accounting, Economics, or Finance will receive credit toward free elective hours.

To be eligible for internship credit, students must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• Junior or Senior standing, completion of Pre-Business requirements and full admission to major, and overall GPA of 2.5 or better.

• Transfer students meeting the above criteria are eligible to participate after one semester of coursework at the Lewis College of Business.
