Business: Internship for Academic Credit

For BUS 492/MGMT 492/ACCT 492/FNAN 492/MIS 492/OM 492/OSCM 492

The for-credit internship course is a three-credit Costello College of Business Elective* course designed to give students the opportunity to gain practical, professional experience in conjunction with their academic development. The internship must be completed within the same academic semester or module schedule in order to receive credit.

Students can choose to enroll in a concentration 492 course (e.g. ACCT 492, FNAN 492, MGMT 492, MIS 492, MKTG 492, or OSCM 492) to have this count towards the concentration elective course if the content of the internship is related to the concentration with the approval of the course instructor.

*Three credits of a 492 course earned with a C or higher may be applied to a student’s major/concentration credit. If a student completes another three-credit internship with a C or higher those credits will apply as general elective credit only. Only one internship course can be completed per semester.

Students cannot register until they receive departmental approval.
