Internships
At Meredith, you won’t just study business; you’ll learn it through hands-on experience. A great way to gain practical skills is to complete an internship in a field of interest to you.

Meredith College has internship recruitment partnerships with outstanding companies, including Ford Motor Company, Credit Suisse, the EEOC, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America.

Credit Suisse Partnership Results in Internships, Jobs
Meredith’s School of Business has begun a partnership with Credit Suisse that has already resulted in internship and job opportunities for our students.

Credit Suisse, one of the world’s leading financial services companies, offers an outstanding internship opportunity. Interns can earn academic credit while progressing through the Credit Suisse Analyst Apprentice Program. During the summer of 2007, two Meredith students, including one from the School of Business, will enter the program.

Heather Sellers, a junior earning an accounting major has accepted the Credit Suisse internship. In addition to the internship program, Meredith MBA student Shakeel Ahmed was recently hired by Credit Suisse for a full time position as a technical analyst.

Senior Internship Experience
The School of Business offers experiential learning through a formal internship program, in which students receive 3 hours of academic credit in exchange for a supervised professional business experience. BUS 480 and 481 are available to seniors who are approved for an internship.  BUS 481 is reserved only for business majors with the concentration in human resource management.

Students are matched with companies ranging in size from sole proprietorships to multinationals. Some of the industries represented are pharmaceuticals, accounting, advertising/public relations, health care, computer hardware and software manufacturing, entertainment and finance. State and Federal Government internships are also available.

Students work a minimum of l0 hours each week for an entire semester in positions such as marketing research assistant, human resources coordinator, customer service representative, events planning assistant and newsletter editor. Upon graduation, many of our interns receive offers for full-time employment as a result of these internship assignments.

Students interested in receiving credit for an internship need to contact Kristy Eubanks, instructor of business, eubanksK@meredith.edu or (919) 760-8131.
