    The internship course is designed to bridge the gap between the academic environment and the professional environment.

    The following restrictions apply: A student who is currently employed may not seek internship credit with the same employer. A student cannot receive retroactive academic credit for a past internship experience.  Pre-requisites are enforced for the internship course and cannot be taken simultaneously with the internship course unless expressly stated as a corequisite.

    Proposed internship experiences and internship responsibilities must be approved in advance by your Department. The credit worthiness of an internship will be judged by whether the duties, activities and skills/knowledge required for the internship closely approach those of a practicing business professional. The approval process takes time. Students must apply for academic credit well in advance of registration deadlines. The process requires the student to submit a typed internship description from the employer detailing substantial responsibilities. Finally, the internship must result in a minimum of 120 verifiable work hours.

    Internship courses will be graded according to the following grading system: satisfactory/unsatisfactory.

    Prerequisite/Corequisite:
    Prerequisites: ACCT 3310 with a grade of C or higher and an upper-level accounting GPA of 3.0 or higher
