Internship Opportunities
Information Technology Infrastructure
Many of our students complete internships with companies and non-profit organizations in the area. Examples of internship sites include:
- Harley Davidson, Inc
- Quad Graphics
- Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation
- American Family Insurance
- School Districts
Management Computer Systems
Many MCS majors choose to participate in the MCS Cooperative Studies program, which has placed more than 400 co-ops since 1980. Students accepted into the program interview for a seven-month co-op position in the information systems area of an approved company. Usually occurring in the senior year, the co-op student is paid and earns three credits that count toward an MCS degree.
Business & Marketing Education
As an alternative to student teaching, school districts offer internships to students who are eligible to student teach. The internship replaces the student teaching experience, and applicants must be eligible to apply.
For related work experience, business and marketing pre-service and in-service teachers are encouraged to work in business to upgrade their business experience that will enhance classroom instruction. These and other related work hours can be applied to the career and technical education license requirement. The department offers a course that allows students to earn three hours for each hour worked; these hours may then be applied to their requirements for Department of Public Instruction (DPI) vocational licensure.
