ECON 201 - Internship Seminar

The internship seminar is recommended as a companion course for students taking an internship through the Economics department. The course is designed to help assure that the theories, principles, and concepts developed in academic work are effectively integrated with the internship experience. The course will use a combination of in-class readings and discussions to allow students to reflect on their own career aspirations as a result of the internship experience as well as to learn from the experiences of other students in the seminar. The goals of the course include supporting students during the internship, analyzing the challenges posed by an internship, and providing success strategies, and developing take-aways from the internship program that help students plan remaining coursework and career preparation. Prerequisite(s): ECON 113 or ECON 119 Every spring. (2 Credits)
