The SBE has a dedicated Office of Internships and Career Opportunities to assist you with earning college credit for an internship. Our office is aware of some internship opportunities at locations outside our local region for which we can help, but it is more often the case where we will rely on you to identify an internship opportunity close to home. Many of these opportunities may exist because of your own network or because you have identified an opportunity yourself or through our university Handshake platform. Our office will then be happy to help you facilitate the process of acquiring this internship.
