In the Business Excellence program, students studying 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
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. The 497 course is used as an elective for business administration concentrations and as credit toward the 150-hour CPA requirement for accounting majors. Students must meet with their advisers for more information about how to receive college credit for an internship.
Additional resources are available on campus for students to seek professional experiences.
