Frequently Asked Questions
The application of internship-related credits depends on each student’s unique circumstances and must be reviewed for each student individually. Generally speaking, the credits may be applied as an Approved Elective or Free Elective. Final determination must be determined by your Academic Advisor.
Typically, students will be required to complete one paper that identifies and describes the internship employer, a SWOT analysis or critical project that requires the application of a student’s business skills, and an employer evaluation in which students discuss their experience throughout the internship, the new skills they’ve acquired, the challenges they’ve faced, etc. All assignments will be clearly stated on the course syllabus.
Students are required to complete three (3) forms from the Student Experience Center: Student Acknowledgement Form, Internship Registration Form, and Supervisor Agreement Form. All forms must be completed, submitted to the Internship Officer in the Student Experience Center, and approved for the student to become eligible for course registration.
Students are encouraged to complete internships that are related to their studies at RSBC. If you are currently employed at an organization that allows you to apply your academic accomplishments and learn new skills in your field, the position will be considered for internship eligibility.
Students are encouraged to seek out experiences at different employers in order to increase their exposure to various corporate cultures and business models. In some cases, a second internship at the employer that the first internship was completed will be considered if 1) the job title has changed and 2) the work completed by the student is markedly different. Support of this change in responsibilities must be documented in writing by the employer.
