Internship/Cooperative Education

Consistent with the expectations of employers and graduate schools, students are strongly encouraged to complete at least one significant work assignment during their tenure at Hampton. An internship is typically a paid summer experience of two or three months, a cooperative education experience typically is for six months. These experiences enrich the student's education by providing relevant perspectives to the theory and techniques covered in the classroom. Students who have internships and/or cooperative education experiences are more attractive to employers. The School of Business works closely with the Career Counseling and Planning Center and our corporate partners to enhance the number and quality of these paid internship and cooperative experiences.

National Accounting Honor Society, Pirate Knight Chess Club, National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE), Economics Club, Business Club and its affiliates, and American Marketing Association are recognized student organizations and provide opportunities to serve and demonstrate leadership. All students are encouraged to participate.
