This course is for MBA students who are engaging in a Directed Work Experience. It is designed to develop professional competencies that lead to successful advancement in an organization and to connect and apply academic work to the workplace.

The Directed Work Experience is designed to allow the student to include meaningful field experience work in his or her graduate program.

At least 200 hours of approved work experience is required. Credit cannot be given for prior experience or work. The internship must include appropriate written presentations and evaluations.

Course may be repeated for up to six hours of credit.
