Prerequisites: Junior standing, 2.5 GPA, ABUS 350, ABUS 363, ABUS
371, and an approved contract with the Internship Coordinator.
Objectives: The objective of the internship is to provide
students time to explore their career choice and observe businesspersons as
they perform their normal duties. This
may lead to a reinforcement of the student’s career choice or it may cause him
or her to look more closely at their choice or perhaps make a change. The internship also provides the opportunity
to list actual employment in a desired field on the student’s resume. Most
students will have the opportunity to actually perform work in their selected
area.
Requirements and
Grading: The final grade will be based on a final evaluation by your employer
and an eight to ten page paper which describes the internship experience.
The paper will be graded for content as
well as for writing style. A daily log of work hours will be kept. This log
should be used as a reminder or outline for the paper.
Paper Due Date: December 2, 2005

Expectations: The student
is expected to fulfill the requirements of the contract. This means being on time, properly dressed,
and acting professionally in every area. The student will be required to submit
an outline of the duties he or she will perform in the internship. This outline
should be designed with the approval of the businessperson that will supervise
the internship and the instructor. It will serve to clarify the student’s role
in the internship and reduce the chances of the student being asked to perform
tasks that were not agreed upon at the start of the internship contract. If a
student has a problem with the assignments or duties they should see the instructor
immediately. The student should not wait until the end of the semester to tell
the professor that the internship is not working out. There will not be enough
time to correct the problem if the student does not bring it to the attention
of the professor immediately.
