How it works

  • Students enroll in the MBA Internship course (BUSI 5999) as a full-time student in the summer term. This term is subject to full-time tuition fees as the MBA Internship Program is a mandatory academic requirement for full-time students with less than two years of professional management experience.
  • A typical MBA internship is 16 weeks in length and consists of full-time hours.
  • Salary for internship placements varies and depends on the organization and student experience.
  • Students begin preparing for the internship at the onset of the MBA program.
  • Students are expected to meet with the MBA Internship Coordinator to discuss resume, experience, concentration and career aspirations.
  • The MBA Internship Coordinator will assist with career skills, offer career-related advice and present internship opportunities to the MBA students.
  • It is the responsibility of MBA students to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the MBA Internship Coordinator and to secure an internship position.
  • International students must apply for a work permit (no fee) and a Social Insurance Number.  Information on the application process can be found through Carleton’s International Student Services Office.
  • Students must successfully complete the internship and respective course report in order to graduate from the MBA program as it is an academic requirement of the program.
