Internship and OPT Information

MBA, MSF, and MSA students must complete a qualifying internship in order to graduate; these required internships are not eligible for academic credit. MSBA students are not required to complete an internship, but may complete an internship for credit if they wish. After receiving an internship offer, a student should follow these steps:

  1. Request approval in Handshake.
    • Log into Handshake using Clark credentials.
    • Click “Career Center”.
    • Click “Experiences”.
    • Click “Request an Experience”.
    • Complete the form.
    • Click the green “Request Experience” button.
