Host students for internship 

All students complete an internship, which is an in-depth service learning project or corporate internship, either over a semester or summer time period.

Cultivating quality internship opportunities is paramount. This is a cutting-edge program and the first time a competency-based internship has been required of all Trulaske College of Business students (population 4,000). Thus, we will need a large number of positions in order to give our students ample opportunities for which they can interview.
 
What does an internship consist of?
We need real-world challenges to learn how to provide real-world solutions.
