The information below pertains only to internships where a declared business major earns academic credit for an approved internship experience. Expressed Interest business students are not eligible for an academic internship. At any time, any business student is allowed to, and encouraged, to complete internships without receiving academic credit.

Note: Academic credit earned for an academic internship in the COB will always be 3.0 units and graded on a Credit/No Credit basis. These credits do not satisfy any major, core or elective credit requirements – they are additional credits.

Student Instructions

The Process

1. Students should download the COB Steps to Apply for a COB Academic Internship
2. For students ready to apply, download the COB Student Internship Application

Once an Academic Internship is approved (based on student eligibility and an approved site), the COB Office of Student Engagement will enroll the student in the appropriate internship course and facilitate all necessary steps in the Academic Internship process. Students must find a full-time faculty member to serve as their Faculty Sponsor.

Information for Employers

Effective Fall 2019, the university requires that all internship site locations where a student engages in an Academic Internship have an Academic Internship/Service Learning Agreement between the University and the Community Partner/Employer already established. This agreement must be approved by both the university and the employer and be on file with the university prior to students engaging in an academic internship.

View the Community Partner List for approved Community Partner/Employer internship sites.
