More Information
To meet one-on-one with the internship coordinator, please schedule an appointment through Student Services in 10 Bidgood Hall or at 205-348-4537. Whenever you come for an appointment, verbally notify the reception staff in 10 Bidgood first, but there is no need to sign in for an internship advising appointment. You may also e-mail or phone her with questions (see below).
Students can also
discuss internships with C&BA academic advisors, or with the C&BA Career Center Satellite staff in 250 Bidgood Hall, or in the main Career Center office at the Ferguson Center.
Employers with staffing needs or trainee opportunities that may be compatible with the internship program should e-mail the internship coordinator a brief description of primary job duties. Please include the hourly wage, weekly work hours, location, and internship duration dates comparable to UA's academic calendar, http://registrar.ua.edu/calendar/.
Only juniors and seniors who are academically poised to accept professional challenges may enroll into the 400-level internship "course." As these student interns master routine tasks and build experience in their majors, they are expected to train with supervision, as would entry-level employees, to develop a working knowlege of overall company operations.
Once an employer has submitted an internship proposal and it has been approved for academic credit, the internship coordinator will post the position so that students may apply directly to the opening. Employers, please arrange interviews with the students of interest who have applied or contact the internship coordinator if you would like to interview on campus.
