Summer Internship

Between your first and second years, we encourage you to participate in a summer internship. Internships provide an opportunity to apply the managerial theories you learned in your first year, while gaining valuable work experience and building your resume. Internships have also led to many permanent positions for our students.

All internships are paid positions; in 2012 the average monthly salary was about $5,700. Opportunities are available nationwide and across multiple industries and functional areas, including:
