for Internships in the Management Department
Undergraduate Internship MGT 3001/2/3 and MGT 5110
General Information
There are two types of internship available in the Management Department: MGT 3001/2/3 and MGT 5110.
MGT 3001 (One credit over one academic term – MGT 3001- that could be extended into two more credits over two more terms – MGT 3002 and MGT 3003) is oriented towards gaining some initial organizational experience. It is directed at those students who have no organizational experience and would like to test the waters.
- Beginning in spring 2007 all 1-credit unpaid internships should be no less than 10 hrs/wk. and no more than 15 hrs./wk. (fall & spring semesters)
- Beginning in spring 2007 all 1-credit paid internships should be no less than 10 hrs/wk. and no more than 20 hrs./wk. (fall & spring semesters)
- Students may register for a 1-credit (paid or unpaid) internship for the January winter session, if the departmental faculty advisor approves it and is willing to be available during January.
MGT 5110 (Three credits) is directed at those students who would like to gain organizational experience within the Management major with the hope to land a job or to learn how this major is actually implemented in organizations.
- Beginning in spring 2007 all 3-credit internships (paid and unpaid) should be no less than 15 hrs/wk and no more than 20 hrs./wk. (fall & spring semesters)
International Students
International students are only permitted to take internships during a given semester. Therefore, a student must be registered for fall and working during the fall semester. A student cannot register late in the fall and continue working at the internship after the semester ends. We will not be registering students after the October 31 and March 31 deadlines. Beginning a placement after these deadlines, by and large, does not permit the student to complete the hours necessary for the internship if he/she is carrying a full-time course load.

- It is the student’s responsibility to find a sponsor and receive the sponsor’s consent for the internship.
