Internships

Participation in Internships is strongly encouraged for all Business Administration and Accounting students.

Through University-arranged internships, students earn academic credit (often a salary as well) for working and learning on campus, or with business and nonprofit organizations in the community. While students will earn academic credit for participating in an internship, this credit cannot be used to satisfy any Business Administration or Accounting major or minor degree requirements. Internships are taken on a pass-fail basis. Internships are arranged with the help of the Internship Coordinator, Brent Hussin, who may be contacted at 465-2575 or hussinb@uwgb.edu. Interested students should start seeking information at the end of their sophomore year and plan accordingly.
