The Department of Entrepreneurship at
Grove City College requires an Internship experience for
each student to enhance their professional preparation
for the real world work environment through work
experience. We believe this experience complements
academic course work by permitting application and
experiential learning.
The internship experience
benefits students by:
-
developing task skills in an entrepreneurial environment; introducing the student to the real-world organization-based
experience in a work environment
-
enhancement of interpersonal and professional skills in the work
place
-
the opportunity to evaluate academic theory versus practice
-
increased understanding of potential entrepreneurial
opportunities
Both formal internships and selected
qualifying jobs are candidates for academic credit. An
internship is so-titled by the host organization. This
is a situation in which the host organization has a
structured program to teach the student about its
operations and the business in which it operates, in
return for which the student performs specified tasks
for the host organization. Qualifying jobs are those
jobs through which students will gain valuable work
experience to complement their academic programs, but
may not be titled as internships.
Students should carefully review this
information and then follow its guidelines and
procedures. Instructions and forms are listed on
the right side of this page; a document containing all
information and instructions can be viewed and printed
here.
Questions should be addressed to:
