408 Internship for Credit

The W. A. Franke College of Business’s Field Work Experience (Internship) Program at NAU is intended to benefit students and employers by advertising employment opportunities for students that integrate academic knowledge with career-related work experiences. As a result of their practical work experience, students should return to the classroom better informed, prepared and motivated.

Students find internships in private and non-profit organizations as well as government agencies. Most openings are primarily in Flagstaff and Phoenix, with occasional positions in other parts of Arizona and the United States.

Additional benefits:

  • Expand and practice professional competence and skills
  • Establish a professional career network
  • Build a résumé and expand after graduation job opportunities
  • Earn academic credit

Once the student has secured an internship, they can enroll in the 408 Internship for Credit course by meeting with the Career Development Office in room 121 to complete the course paperwork. Enrollment for the course takes place during regular enrollment periods each semester, and in the summer.

As you explore the option to participate in an internship that will also provide academic credit, make sure you meet the minimum requirements to be approved for enrollment in the course. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you will not be approved to enroll in the course—absolutely no exceptions.

To earn the academic credit, you need to be able to demonstrate your learning experience by completing assignments related to the internship. You can choose to pursue three or six academic credits, depending on the number of assignments you complete. Because all assignments are posted in Canvas, you will need weekly access to a computer, internet access, and an NAU e-mail account before the term begins.
