Internships/ Career Services/ BUSX 460
Programs in the College of Business and Economics prepare graduates to assume professional roles in a variety of settings. CBE students are strongly encouraged to complete more than one internship experience before graduation. There are two ways for students to receive college credit for an internship:
Enroll in the BUSX 460 course in conjunction with internship
Towson University’s College of Business and Economics is one of only a few business schools in the nation to offer a separate unit designed to enhance business performance in the college and in the workplace. In the Business Excellence program, students studying Accounting, Business Administration or e-Business are required to take BUSX 460 – Professional Experience.
Students are required to intern as part of the course, which focuses on a successful transition between the last college semester and the first day of professional work. Through self-assessment, students develop a portfolio that demonstrates their knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) as well as their commitment to lifelong career development.
Enroll in a 497 course in conjunction with internship
The 497 course is used as an elective for Business Administration and e-Business majors and as credit toward the 150-hour CPA requirement for Accounting majors. Students cannot enroll in a 497 course without departmental consent. A minimum of 120 hours must be completed in order to gain practical experience in the application of the business concepts. . Students must meet with their advisers for more information about how to receive college credit for an internship.
