The Internship Program of the Weissman Center for International Business develops internship opportunities within the New York metropolitan area that expose Baruch undergraduate students of all majors to business issues and practices.

An internship is a necessary extension of your academic experience and an internship builds your professional profile.  Our program is here to assist Baruch students with finding an internship that will help their developmental growth.

Internship Program Highlights:

• We place students in the spring, summer, or fall semesters.
• We match students to a variety of companies that range from small, medium, and large size firms that are either private or public companies.  We work within the finance industry, entertainment/media, health/beauty/fashion, legal, non-profits, government agencies, and specialty businesses.
• We actively match internships based upon the student’s major, industries of interest, the type of work the student wants to do, and any other information the student provides the Program regarding internship needs.
• We will not submit a student’s résumé to a company without a student’s consent or knowledge.
• We work with undergraduate students throughout their academic time at Baruch College.

Student Eligibility for Internship Program:

• Currently enrolled Baruch undergraduate student

Internship Program ~ Student Responsibility:

• If the company offers an internship position to a student and the student accepts, the student is required to complete the internship for that particular semester or for the agreed upon time period of the internship.
• If a student leaves an internship prior to its completion without just cause or notification to the company and our offices, then the student potentially puts in jeopardy our reputation with the company and the reputation of Baruch students.  This type of act is a serious matter and can lead to the student being disqualified from participating in the Program.
