We offer both competitive internships and consulting coursework, where students can apply the knowledge they gained in a classroom to the business world. Internships - We partner with local businesses to offer you competitive paid internships to help you directly apply the knowledge you gain in the classroom to the challenges facing businesses today. The course schedule allows you to participate in competitively available paid internships during the day. Interns typically work in the CU Denver metro area for 20-30 hours per week for 6-10 months. Consulting - Real-world experience is provided to students who will continue to work at their current employer or would like to attend class full-time. A consulting course is an option for those attending class full-time and will include real-world business projects with local companies. Assistantships - We also offer graduate assistantships, but these positions will not fulfill the experiential learning requirement. As a competitively paid position, you will work directly with faculty or senior staff in a flexible and academically-focused setting. Career and professional development courses A career and professional development course will be integrated throughout the program. Some areas covered include: Resumes and Linkedln, Interviewing, Business etiquette, Job search strategies, Employer assessments, Offers and compensation negotiation
