Internship Process

• Secure the internship by following the guidelines listed under "Position Search Options" on this page. For internships by Career Services, you must verify that Seidman has pre-approved the internship. For internships not posted by Seidman, you must submit a job description signed, by the prospective employer, before completing the internship packet. Remember, you may not intern with a current or past employer or an immediate family member.
  
  
• Pick up and complete an internship packet.
  
• Develop your learning objectives for this internship with a faculty member in the discipline of the internship. You need to bring the entire internship packet, including a copy of the job description to the faculty at this time. The faculty member must sign the learning objectives. If you are doing an internship outside of your major, a faculty member in your major must also sign the learning objectives.
  
  
• Turn in your completed paperwork to the appropriate Internship Supervisor. This will include:
  
  
  1. Original application signed by the employer.
  2. Three (3) copies of the signed learning objectives.
  3. Three (3) copies of the approved job description.
  4. A copy of your current resume.
     
     
• Once the completed application packet receives final approval, you will be registered for the internship by the Seidman College of Business, which will then contact you to confirm your registration. You will receive your internship confirmation letter by mail in a few days.
