BUS 197 - Exploratory Internship 1 s.h. - 2 s.h.

Exploratory internship is a credit-bearing, short-term applied-learning experience that provides early exposure to a field of interest and professional life in general. The learning outcomes are basic and defined in a learning agreement by the student and internship coordinator and/or the faculty supervisor prior to registration of the internship. The evaluation of a student’s performance in the internship is based upon the academic work expected by the learning agreement, for example a written assignment, journal or weekly reports, creative project or performance, or other culminating experience. The site sponsor verifies the student’s on-site participation and performance. Credit is awarded at a rate of one credit per forty hours of participation. Students may build on the initial one-semester hour exploratory internship by earning an additional semester hour under a new learning agreement or undertake an unrelated exploratory internship for a maximum of 2 s.h. Admission by approval of the dean. Pass/Fail Option. Offered every semester.
Prerequisite(s): 12 s.h. earned, 2.0 major and overall GPA.
