Internships

All internships offer the opportunity for school credit. It is the responsibility of each student to present and initiate any internship related school-credit responsibilities that the Business Development will need to fulfill- in a timely manner.

All Interns who finish their required program of work will be recognized by the Business Development Staff. This includes recognition on LinkedIn, and a recommendation on LinkedIn. The opportunity to use Business Development Staff members as a resume reference, and a letter of recommendation if needed.
