All About Internships

The Ancell School of Business strongly encourages students to pursue internships and other experiential learning opportunities to help guide them to a personally satisfying career placement and to ensure that they will graduate with important professional experience.

Internships are an excellent way to gain “real world” experience in your chosen career or major and they are the number one way companies hire new staff!  For more information please contact the Student Career Success Center located in the Westside Campus Student Center, level 3, or log into your  Westconn Works Logo  account.

Hello World!

“According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE): The starting salary for graduates that had paid interns is over $14,000 more than graduates without a paid internship.#  On average, it takes interns 1.9 months to attain their first job compared to the 4.34 months for non-interns.”
