Description

The Entrepreneurial Internship course allows students to earn credits while working as an intern for their company sponsor during the semester. Under the guidance of a faculty member serving as an entrepreneurial advisor, students have a chance to apply concepts learned in the classroom and acquire new skills as they address real life challenges.

In this course, the student assumes an employee role in the company. Internships typically involve students serving in a functional role with an entrepreneurial focus, such as product management, entrepreneurial marketing and sales.

This internship will be graded (see syllabus for details on requirements and enrollment process).

A student can receive credit for up to 2 semesters for this course. This course can only be taken once a semester.
