Finance and Real Estate Department > Internship Program

 
 

Welcome to the program and congratulations on taking an important step in the development of your future. The Finance Internship Program is designed to provide a method for obtaining valuable work experience that integrates with classroom learning. It is intended to allow the student to undertake professional level challenges along with encountering an organization’s corporate culture. The internship experience is also intended to help students gather information to help guide their career decisions.

Once a student has obtained the prerequisites for the internship program (listed below), he or she enters into a contract with the Department of Finance and Real Estate and the employer. The contract will stipulate the duties, responsibilities, and requirements of the student and the employer. The student will be expected to work a minimum of 50 hours per academic credit hour, not to exceed the maximum of 150 hours (3 semester credits). While participating in the internship program, the student, depending upon the employer, may or may not receive a salary or wage.

The student will submit a formal report describing the activities and responsibilities of the internship to the Internship Coordinator. The report is due last week of classes of each semester which the student expects to receive credit. In addition, the employer will provide an evaluation of the intern to the Internship Coordinator. Finally, a thank you letter must be written by the intern to the employer and a copy given to the Coordinator. FIN 487 (Internship) is graded on a "Pass" or "Fail" basis determined solely by the Internship Coordinator.
