What is an Internship?

Credit internships provide business students with valuable work experience, which will enhance their classroom learning. Tobin offers credit internships to seniors, who are currently enrolled and have completed 90 credits with a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.0. This program provides students with the opportunity to develop skills outside the classroom in actual work settings. Credit internships are for one semester and are part-time. Interns must be supervised by both a Tobin faculty member and someone on-site at the internship. Students must be successfully reviewed for performance after the completion of 135 hours of internship. Application of the principles and theories of a specific business major discipline is emphasized throughout the internship.

Our proximity to New York City's business center opens enviable opportunities for real-world experience prior to graduation. Students may earn course credit by interning at companies such as Smith Barney and Donna Karan. However, Tobin has sponsoring firms throughout New York and other locations. You might even leverage your internship into a job offer when you've completed your degree.
