Partnering Opportunities : Internships

MIS IntershipsInternship programs are an ideal partnership between the academic and business communities, giving students on-the-job work experience while allowing employers to meet their staffing needs.

Summer intern recruiting usually begins in late January and ends in March. Recruiting MIS students for summer internships provides a wonderful opportunity to raise your company’s profile among students. Successful internships are structured as independent projects that can be completed in three months, or as a structured series of shorter-term assignments.

Employer benefits include:

  • A cost-effective way of hiring potential employees
  • The presence of enthusiastic student-employees with fresh ideas and knowledge of the latest technology and techniques
  • The opportunity to assess interns without making a long-term hiring commitment
  • Short-term staffing to aid in completing crucial projects
  • Awareness of current curriculum and the opportunity to evaluate if the university’s objectives are meeting business needs

Student benefits include:

  • The chance to combine classroom theory and learning with practical work experience
  • The opportunity to work with a company without making a long-term commitment
  • Making networking contacts for future job searches
  • The chance to explore and clarify career choices and goals
  • The opportunity to work with professionals in a chosen field and showcase their talents and capabilities to a prospective employer

MIS IntershipsReady to fill your internships?

There are two ways to post internships for our students. Please choose the way that is best for you.

  1. Send your internship postings to Mona Lopez (mllopez@eller.arizona.edu 520.626.0493) and she will distribute to our student listserves on your behalf. Please include internship description, company information, submission deadlines, how to apply, and who students can contact for more information.
  2. Use The University of Arizona’s Career Services system at www.career.arizona.edu. Create an employers profile and post away. The majority of our students are in this system and receive updates when new internships are posted. Make sure to select “Eller College” and “Management Information Systems” or “MIS” to your target market to ensure our students receive your posting.
