FIN 470-474 - Internship in Finance

Variable (0.00-4.00) credit(s).

Internships lead to a culminating learning experience for students studying in the fields of finance. This experience allows students the opportunity to practice the application of theory and apply the knowledge acquired through academic course work to practical real world business issues in a formal business setting. Students are able to gain the skills leading to a successful career. Starting from an entry level with broader exposure of business experiences to a higher level in which advanced knowledge and skills are expected, internship experience not only draws on major and minor course offerings in finance, but allows the integration of course work from other fields of study during the development of professional skills. Ultimately, an internship is an in-depth, supervised, hands-on work and study experience, in which the student has a degree of responsibility for planning, directing, collaborating, and supervising the work of others. The Internship in Finance is designed to stimulate good judgment and sound decision making while improving problem solving, communication, human development, and relation building skills. The course is repeatable and can be taken for academic credits varying from 0 to 4 credits depending on the academic work completed and detailed in Section VI of the syllabus. A total of 12 credits may be earned from internship/co-op courses taken through the School of Business during a student’s college career. Signature Learning Experience: Internship. Graded Pass/No Pass. Register by Instructor.
