Internships
Internships provide students with opportunities for experiential learning and career preparation. Internships are encouraged, but not required, to complete the major or minor. Students are responsible for finding their own internships and and should use the resources available to them through the Wasserman Center for Career Development, and CEMS' faculty and staff. Internships may be completed over the summer or during the fall or spring semester.
Please note that internships for credit require an academic component. Therefore, a student must take the Internship Seminar to enroll in the Internship Fieldwork component of the course, for a total of four credits. The course usually fills up by the first week of classes.
