Marketing Internship

We encourage all marketing students in the Robert C. Vackar College of Business &  Entrepreneurship to gain valuable experience and earn academic credit through an internship. 

If your internship meets the necessary requirements to earn academic credit, please click the button and fill out the application form.

Marketing Internship Application

Why You Should Intern 

  1. Apply what you learn in the classroom to real-world situations 
  2. Gain experience and increase marketability 
  3. Professionalism and soft skills 
  4. Gain professional feedback
  5. Networking

Internship Requirements 

To earn academic credit for MARK 4380 - Marketing Internship, the internship must meet the following criteria: 

  1. A minimum of 150 hours and a minimum of 10 hours per week. We recommend that interns work 10 to 30 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters, and up to 40 hours per week during the summer. Overtime is not allowed. 
  2. Prior to registering for the internship course, the employer must provide a detailed  description of the duties performed, and the supervision provided to the intern. Please ask  your employer to fill out this Employer Internship Commitment Form and include it with  your internship application.
  3. During the internship, the employer must provide three (3) confidential evaluations of the intern. 
  4. You must maintain a journal outlining all work experience gained in the internship. 
  5. At the conclusion of the internship (or the end of the academic term), you must write a paper (minimum three (3) pages) demonstrating the knowledge acquired in the internship. 
  6. International students can earn credit for internships. However, international students require an approved Curricular Practical Training (CPT) to earn credit for internships in the United States. Please visit International Admissions and Student Services to learn more about CPT and fill out the form. Internships do not have to physically be in the United States to qualify, but the same academic and job requirements apply, and local work authorization rules must be adhered to.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, however, we encourage paid internships. Nonetheless, it is possible to earn academic credit for unpaid internships.

Students are allowed and encouraged to complete multiple internships. However, students can only earn academic credit for one internship experience.

No, earning academic credit for an internship is an opportunity, not an obligation.
