Students registered in the course will complete relevant work as posted on the course Canvas site moderated by the internship coordinator. These may including tracking hours worked, performance assessments, listing accomplishments, and writing a paper. This work will result in a grade for the course. There are no face-to-face class meetings associated with this course, but there will be due dates.

Students can reach out to the internship coordinator, Elise Riker at Elise.Riker@asu.edu, for the link to the application and with any additional questions.

For employers

Employers seeking student interns should be able to provide the student guidance and mentorship in the chosen field. For example, the intern’s supervisor should have marketing experience to adequately mentor a marketing intern. Otherwise, you may consider hiring a recent graduate.
