Internships and Real World Experience

Put classroom learning into effect in the real world.

83% of business and leadership internships in 2019 resulted in full-time job offers upon graduation. 

EMU’s student-run investment club shares profits with local charities like Our Community Place, a nearby non-profit community center familiar to most EMUers.

And each year EMU business majors attend the national Mennonite Economic Development Association (MEDA) convention, and participate in events specifically designed for students.

Business internships that make a difference

Internships receive 3 SH of credit, generally last for one semester, and in some cases are paid. Internships are a Community Learning designate and, for business administration majors, fulfill one of the required electives. Internships are open to juniors and seniors who have been admitted to the business program and who currently have a 2.7 business GPA.

We place interns in a variety of manufacturing, service, and not-for-profit environments where they work in accounting, cost analysis, human resource management, investments, marketing, operations, and planning. In some cases, internships lead to a permanent position after graduation.
