BUS 397 - Internship in Sport Management/Advance Field Experience

The internship requirement is considered one of the most critical components of the Sport Management Program. Students will undertake a 12-15 week, full-time (40 hours per week) supervised internship. This opportunity is expected to enhance the student’s academic experiences via a required industry analysis paper, a research project, weekly logs and a portfolio, as well as provide additional work experience and networking opportunities. Internship experiences may take place in any of the varied sport industry settings. Students may obtain internships in any region of the country and in some cases, may receive financial compensation. Enrollment is normally limited to sport management (internship track) majors who have not completed degree requirements. Students can receive a maximum of 6 internship credits which count toward SB requirements. Other internship credits would be counted as general electives. Majors are limited to a maximum of nine internship credits toward the degree; and minors are limited to a maximum of three internship credits. May not be taken Pass/Fail.
