Internships

The Sage School of Management ensures that students are prepared for life outside of the classroom.  Internships are a critical step along the path to success.  Over 200 students have completed internships in the past three years. These required work-based learning experiences provide students an opportunity to further develop knowledge and skills they have acquired in the classroom.  These include professionalism, leadership, critical thinking, effective communication – to name a few.  Internships are also a chance to gain additional insight into a particular field, network with professionals, and explore professional interests.
