New Process

 

Beginning Fall 2009, students enrolled in BUAD 300 are required to do an ABLE Introduction Workshop which explains the process for enrolling in the 3-credit 490. It will also provide students with valuable information to help them when searching for an internship. 

 

Those BUAD 300 students will also have to attend a MANDATORY Pre-Internship Seminar prior to the semester they plan to do their internship.  The goal for this Seminar is to better prepare you for your internship experience by discussing what is expected of you by your employer and in the 3-credit 490 course.  Your attendance will be recorded and verified when your internship documents are processed.
