Western International University (West) Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Science in Business students who are nearing the completion of their degree programs now have the option to apply for an Internship Course. Internship Courses are currently only located in Arizona and are designed to provide students an opportunity to apply their learning to a workplace setting and deepen their education with real-world business experiences. Once approved for the Internship Course by West and the employer, the student, in collaboration with a faculty instructor, will determine a final paper or project that is intended to synthesize the student’s practical experiences and prior coursework.
In conjunction with West’s complimentary career resources for students, including one-on-one career coaching and state-of-the-art resume tools, the Internship Course provides the opportunity for students to:
