Any exceptions to this rule must be approved by the chairperson and the Dean of the College of Business. An internship will require 40 hours of work for each academic credit earned. Thus, a 3-credit internship will require 120 hours of work and a 6-credit internship would require 240 hours. Internships must be scheduled during the regular terms (Spring, Summer, Fall) and run generally throughout the duration of the term
The Chair of the Marketing Department will evaluate your documents and approve your internship if all of the eligibility requirements have been met. At this point, a faculty internship supervisor will be assigned to supervise you during your internship experience. You will receive a memo indicating the name of your faculty supervisor and a course syllabus for your reference during your internship. The faculty supervisor is the prime supervisor, although the on-site supervisor will have a significant impact on your internship grade.
