Why pursue an internship

Internships are one of the most meaningful ways to apply what you learn in the classroom to real business challenges. Internships can help you build confidence, grow your professional network and can often lead to a full-time position after graduation.

We host career fairs and networking events throughout the year designed to connect management students with companies looking for emerging talent. To explore upcoming opportunities:

  • Connect with your professors
  • Visit the Kuhlin Hub
  • Check in with leaders of your student organizations

Education abroad

Studying abroad isn't just about exploring the world – it's a powerful way for management students to stand out in a competitive field. Observing business practices in different regions of the world gives you a broader perspective on leadership, workplace culture and how organizations operate across borders – skills that employers value.

Living and learning in a new environment also helps you become more adaptable and confident while gaining a deeper understanding of diverse cultures.
