Internship Program

The Moody College of Business Administration Internship Program allows students to participate in on-the-job work experience that relates to their major while receiving academic credit. Our mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom with practical job experience in preparation for postgraduate employment. Each semester, we provide an opportunity for Moody College of Business students to meet with companies offering internship, part-time and full-time opportunities.
