Internships and real-world experience
Employers want to see real work and hands-on experience in our Franke graduates, focusing on internships and co-op programs. If you have completed an internship, you will have an edge over your classmates who have not as you develop strong skills and applied expertise.
Many companies have strong, well-established internship programs while some have assorted positions based on their needs. An internship is an on-site work experience that will last for a summer, a semester, or even a year. The length of time will be set by the company. Internships can be paid or unpaid as well. Most of the opportunities posted by The W. A. Franke College of Business are paid. The Career Development Office lists internship opportunities on our website.
