Internship for Economics

Economics majors are given the opportunity to do a supervised internship in an appropriate corporate, not-for-profit, research organization, small business or governmental organization. Internships are subject to the approval of the internship director, and approval must be sought a minimum of one month prior to the internship. The internship should be a minimum of 8 hours per week for 15 weeks. Students must meet periodically during the internship with the internship director. The student must write a report on his or her internship. While the department will endeavor to find an appropriate internship, often in the not-for-profit sector, students may also locate a potential internship and submit it to the internship director for approval.
