Internships

All business administration students complete an internship. The purpose of this internship is to help students apply academic knowledge to a work environment. Many Concordia internships turn into full-time employment opportunities upon graduation. Many students are in an enviable position; they already have a job offer and can begin their careers immediately.

MBA internship/research options provide an executive experience in a local business/corporation. Internship opportunities serve as an integrative, hands-on learning experience using the analysis, management, and planning tools learned during the program.

The business internship brings together the academic preparation with an actual employment situation providing students with an opportunity to apply their business preparation, communication, decision-making, and problem solving skills.
