Gain Experience Outside the Classroom
Acquire valuable on-the-job experience and course credit by interning with a business or non-profit organization. Many interns get
hired before graduation and receive job offers upon completing their internship. The School of Business and Economics works with Central Wisconsin’s business community to offer you
internship positions at some of the strongest companies and organizations in the area including Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, Greenheck Fan, Associated Bank, Sentry Insurance, Progressive Insurance and the Boys and Girls Club.
Study abroad internships are also available. Students in the
10-week study-abroad program in London gain employment experience in such areas as economic research, financial services and marketing. A
four-week study-abroad program in China places students at a company or nonprofit organization where they build an understanding of the Chinese business environment.
