INTERNSHIP PROGRAM STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS
The Department of Business Administration Internship Program is designed to enhance the student's
formal academic education by providing an opportunity for the student to test skills and knowledge via
exposure to an actual institutional or commercial enterprise.
This supervised experience provides an
arena for the practical integration of knowledge during the formal learning process as well as an
opportunity to acquire experience and knowledge beyond that available within the confines of the
existing curriculum. Students benefit both personally and professionally from the expanded perspectives
provided by the professional supervisor and the guidance of the faculty supervisor in evaluating this
learning experience. Internships are graded on a Pass/Fail basis.

BUS 390: Internship Assessment Agreement
Below is the actual assessment language that is included in the BUS 390 Master Syllabus. This language was
approved by the University Curriculum Committee and the President. This assessment must be followed by both
the student and supervisor.
The internship is intended to be primarily a learning experience. Therefore, part of the structure of the
internship requires the student to think about how the job at hand relates to the larger picture of business in
general and to the business education that the student has received in the classroom. To that end, the
following are required of all interns:
1. A journal that reflects the student’s activities and experience each work day.
2. A final report in narrative form which includes:
a. A summary of the student’s activities and accomplishments during the internship;
b. A discussion of what the student learned about the business environment (for example: economic,
competitive, demographic, legal, political, technological and global) during the internship;
c. A discussion of the firm’s business model, including its strategy as the student understands it;
d. A reflection on what the student learned about leadership and management during the internship,
including:
i. The organization’s culture, and
ii. A description of what they did well and what they could do better and how;
e. A comparison of the work experience to the student’s previous classroom experience, including;
i. How the student’s classroom experience prepared him/her for the internship, and
ii. How the student believes the internship prepared him/her for future classes and
employment;
f. A discussion of what the student learned about his/her career opportunities and expectations;
g. In addition to the written narrative, the faculty supervisor may require an oral report.
3. Organization’s supervisor evaluation:
The faculty supervisor shall obtain from the sponsor at the end of the internship a performance
evaluation form, completed by the internship supervisor.
4. The faculty supervisor will award a grade of pass/fail for an undergraduate internship based on the above.
