The Internship course is open to College of Management students who meet the following academic pre-requisites:

Completion of 75 credit hours
Minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA at UMass Boston
Completion of one concentration or
Course Completion of 21 credits in your major core and/or foundation courses

- Check the box if you understand that failing to meet these pre-requisites may disqualify you from receiving academic credit for this internship.*

Internship course registration aligns with your internship placement, not necessarily with your concentration or track.

For example, a marketing concentrator with an accounting internship would be registered for AF 480, not MKT 480, and the internship wouldn’t satisfy a concentration requirement in that case. For the great majority of students, their internship placement and concentration are in the same field, so this is not an issue.

Appropriate section registration is determined by a review of your position description by the Office of Career Services and Internships.
