Internships

Internships have been described as the new entry level job. They provide a valuable opportunity for 麻豆传媒 to gain professional work experience, expand their network, and learn about their own strengths and interests. Students in the School of Business complete internships in organizations of every size; in location in Illinois, across the country, or as part of a study abroad experience; and are typically paid for their work, along with the opportunity to earn academic credit.
