Concordia University requires all business students to complete a minimum of 3 units (135 work hours) of internship credit to graduate. It is our goal to align students in internship opportunities that are closely related to the student’s academic major or career interests. It is vital that the students are able to engage in a learning experience that takes them beyond the classroom, and into a business setting that fosters growth in the student’s chosen industry.
Concordia works enjoys good working relationships with a large number of businesses within the area. Students are also encouraged to seek new partners with which we can work. The Director of Business Relationships will assist students in seeking internship placements.
