INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Economics department encourages Co-ops or internships for the following reasons:

  • The best hands-on experience is gained by interacting with professionals in the field.
  • Ethical issues are more vividly appreciated in the context of real-life situations.
  • Issues of character such as conscience and commitment taught in the liberal arts curriculum are translated to the professional world.
