BUS 178 Business Internship

A cooperative program integrating practical work experience with academic coursework. Students must spend a minimum of 120 hours of practical internship experience for three credits in addition to classroom and/or on-line coursework. Practical hours can be prorated for a one credit or a two credit course with 40 hours or 80 hours of practical internship experience respectively. Academic theory from current and prior courses is applied to the internship setting. The application of the academic theory is explored and analyzed through discussions, written assignments, internship journals and a final course paper. Students have the opportunity to structure the internships to focus on either a key area of concentration or a broad business perspective. Internships will be designed and arranged in collaboration with the course instructor. Students under 18 years of age or on academic probation are ineligible. Students are encouraged to discuss the internship prior to or shortly after registering for the course. Not recommended for freshman students.
