Marketing Internships
Developed in the early 90s, the Marketing Department offers an Internship
class (MKTG 567) as an important part
of the electives available to undergraduate students who are exploring career opportunities in the marketing field. While the three-unit
course continues to fill each semester, there are several internships left
unfilled, and they are available to all Marketing majors interested in paid or unpaid
opportunities.

Internships cover all aspects of the marketing field—advertising, public
relations, promotions, and direct marketing. Most employers are looking
for 10 to 20 hours per week, and all require students to have
had at least one marketing class and a good understanding of the areas
mentioned above. All internships are supervised by marketing professionals who
provide a learning experience with hands-on training. Internships are generally
for one semester, but some may extend beyond. There is NO commitment by the
employer to offer the student a full-time job following the internship.
While many internships are with small businesses and non-profit
organizations, full-service ad agencies, public relations promotions, and
broadcast companies are looking for students as well.
