Internships and Cooperative Education
Elevate your marketing education through real-world experience with internships and cooperative learning opportunities.
Get hands-on experience and take your marketing & sales skills beyond the classroom with internships and cooperative education opportunities. These experiences let you put what you’ve learned into practice, explore different areas of marketing, and see how strategies come to life in the real world. Along the way, you’ll build your professional network, strengthen your resume, and gain the confidence and experience that set you apart as you launch your career.
Internship Experiences
Ready to take your marketing skills into the real world? To get started, you’ll need a minimum GPA of 2.75 and at least 12 marketing credits, including MRKT 305. Your internship or co-op will give you hands-on experience—creating, planning, and implementing marketing activities, then seeing the results in action. Experiences can be paid or unpaid, and you’ll need to work at least 70 hours per credit (most students take three credits).
While only three credits count as a marketing elective, you can take up to eight credits total, with extra hours counting toward general business electives. Most students do local internships during the Fall and Spring, but summer opens up even more options—including international experiences! Check out current opportunities on Handshake and start planning your real-world marketing adventure.
