Internships and Jobs
According to the National Association of Colleges & Employers, the starting salary of interns averages $2,000-$3,000 more than non-interns. On average it takes interns 1.98 months to obtain their first job compared to the 4.34 months for non-interns.
Internships are available for academic credit or without academic credit. To receive academic credit, you need a 3.0 Cameron GPA, have completed MGT 350 and 6 hours of MGT or EBD courses. Students are encouraged to pursue internships, whether for academic credit or for experience.
How is an internship different from a part time job?
An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skill development in a professional setting that is directly related to an entry-level role the student may pursue after graduation. The content should be substantially managerial in nature rather than simply administrative.
