MyWCBA: Internships

Students who matriculate Summer B 2009 or later are required to complete a 150 hour internship by the start of their senior year in order to graduate. Business majors who matriculated prior to Summer B 2009 are not required to complete an internship, but they are strongly encouraged to do at least one internship. Business majors who matriculated prior to Summer B 2009 can earn internship credit through the UF Honors Program Office.
