How
many Placements Can Students Have?
Students are
encouraged to complete an
internship at least twice prior to graduation.
These placements may be during the summer or an academic
semester. Placements
may be with the same organization or with different ones, depending
upon the needs of the company and the student.
What
Disciplines Are Available for Internships?
Internships are
available to students in all disciplines in the School of Business.
However, some majors are in more demand than others.
Are
Graduate Students Eligible?
Yes.
Internships are offered to both undergraduate and graduate
students.
Do
Students Earn Credits for Internships?
Credit is
available from all School of Business Administration most departments.
The availability of credit and the number of credits offered
is determined by the Internship Director, Rob Van Driest, and based on the number of
hours worked, duties and responsibilities of the position.
Can
Students Go to School While Working?
Students who
have “parallel” placements can attend classes on campus while
interning. This, of
course, is only available to students interning in the Missoula
area. Students can also
intern on an “alternating” schedule, meaning they intern
full-time for a semester or summer, then return to school the next
semester.
How is
the Employer Involved with the Placement Semester?
The employer
must offer a quality work-based learning experience, be willing to
guide, direct and supervise the intern, and complete an evaluation
on the intern at the end of the semester.
How Do
Students Find an Internship?
You may apply for internships advertised on Griz eRecruiting,
Internships.com or other sources that you are qualified for or
you may develop your own internship opportunity. Students may
look through the current listing of openings in the Internship
Services office or
on the bulletin boards in their individual departments.
Internship openings are also advertised in the student
newspaper, the Kaimin, and on our web page at
www.umt.edu/internships .
