Click on the garnet “Course Application Process” button under the “Earn Academic Credit for Internships” section for our 5-step application process on the main internship webpage.

What are the course requirements for a business internship course?

Click on the appropriate garnet button under the “Undergraduate Internship Courses and Requirements” or “Graduate Internship Courses and Requirements” section on the main internship webpage.

What is the deadline to enroll in a business internship course?

Both sections of your internship application (your request AND the employment verification) must be submitted prior to the last day of Drop/Add of your requested semester.

I submitted a request to enroll in a business internship course, but haven’t heard back. How can I check on the status of my application?

All our communications will be sent to you from internships@business.fsu.edu. First, search this email address within your inbox and ensure you haven’t missed any emails from us.

Then, touch base with your employer to ensure they have received and completed the employment verification. A missing employment verification is the most common reason for delays in processing.

If an employment verification has been submitted to our office, you should receive an email from us within ten (10) business days. If outside this timeframe, please touch base with us at internships@business.fsu.edu.

I completed an internship in the past. Can I enroll in a business internship course for this previous work experience?

Unfortunately, no. Course assignments require you to actively participate with your employer while the internship is taking place in order to complete the assignments. Additionally, the course serves as a form of mentorship for your internship experience.

I own my own business. Can this experience be used for a business internship course?

While we applaud and value your hard work, we unfortunately cannot use this for enrollment in a business internship course. There are course evaluations throughout the semester, and you cannot certify the evaluations or your work hours for yourself.

I am not a business major, but I’d like to take a business internship course. Can I enroll in a business internship course?

Our courses are not restricted to business majors, so if you meet all requirements for the business internship course, you can request to enroll. Please click on the appropriate garnet button under the “Undergraduate Internship Courses and Requirements” or “Graduate Internship Courses and Requirements” section on the main internship webpage for more details.

I am interested in securing an internship, but don’t know where to begin. How can I get started?

We recommend checking our College of Business Job & Internship Board and NoleNetwork to get familiar with opportunities.

I’d like to get my resume reviewed before applying or attending an upcoming recruiting event. How can I get this done?

We recommend setting up an appointment with one of our career coaches a few days prior to when you’d like to apply or attend the event. Then, send a copy of your resume to whomever you set the appointment with beforehand, so they have time to review and have some comments ready for you during your appointment.
