The Marilyn Davies College of Business allows up to two undergraduate courses (6 semester credit hours) in Field Experience to be applied toward undergraduate graduation requirements. These courses are graded on a pass/fail basis and do not apply toward the calculation of the grade point average. Field Experience credit may NOT be used to satisfy minor program requirements, except for Insurance & Risk Management. MBA students do not qualify to receive course credit. Students will be responsible for any fees associated with Field Experience Courses.
Students are required to complete a minimum of 120 work hours at the internship site in order to receive credit. Other aspects of course requirements will be provided below and/or in the course syllabus for your respective major.
Note: You may not perform an internship at a site in which any family member is the employer.
COVID-19 Field Experience Exception: You may perform an internship at your current place of employment, however, it must be with the commitment from you and your direct manager that the internship is cross-functional or rotational in nature for the purpose of upskilling or development.
All students who gain an internship and wish to receive course credit must sign the Internship Participation Acknowledgment which states the following "I acknowledge that there may be risks associated with my participation in this activity which may include, but are not limited to, illness or personal injury caused by exposure to illnesses (including but not limited to communicable diseases such as influenza and COVID-19), infections, and other potential issues typically associated with such settings." Acknowledgment form will be provided to the student.
