Internship Resources for International Business Students

According to the 2008 Experiential Education Survey conducted by The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), 36 percent of the new college graduates the employers hired from the Class of 2007 came from their own internship programs, comparing to 30 percent in 2005. No matter whether the internship is qualified for academic credits or not, internship experiences will increase your chance of obtaining a job upon graduation. You can seek internship positions through referrals from the faculty members, the Internship Coordinator at the College of Business Administration, the Career Services Office at UM - St Louis, and other recourses.
