- Student intern will develop an academic plan in conjunction and agreement with an internship mentor from Leighton School of Business faculty that encourages students to reflect on their experience by writing two reflection papers during their internship and other related assignments. Internships in most cases span one semester and should create opportunities for students to incorporate their classroom knowledge in the work setting.
- Using the academic plan as a rubric, the internship mentor will evaluate the student’s performance and submit a final grade for course credit for the internship.
- Leighton School of Business students who have reached junior standing and have completed six credit-hours in their area of concentration are eligible to register for course leading to credit for internship.
- All students must submit their job description for approval to Mike Esposito before they can register for BUS X481 Undergraduate Internship or BUSB X581 Graduate Internship to earn course credit for an internship. Students must be enrolled in the respective course concurrently with internship participation; credit cannot be issued for a past experience.
- Standard tuition rates apply to BUS-X481. If, in the semester they enroll in BUS-X481, a student's credit hour total is between 12 to 18 credit hours (including BUS-X481), they pay the banded tuition rate. However, if taking BUS-x481 increases their credit hour total beyond 18 hours, the per-credit-hour tuition applies to each additional credit hour past 18.
