Internship & Co-op Program
Today, many organizations recruit employees from co-op and internship programs that they sponsor. The Marketing Department and Temple University offer a variety of opportunities for students to participate in these programs. Marketing students are strongly encouraged to work with both CSPD and AMA on identification of internship opportunities.
Students who participate in Internships and Co-op programs are able to get valuable business experience that may significantly enhance their resumes. For some internships, sponsoring organizations pay students for their time (typically $8 to $15 per hour with the number of hours to be worked-out with the company) while other organizations offer students the opportunity to gain experience without compensation.
Generally speaking, Internship Programs do not have an academic component; students participate in internships to build their skills and network. Co-op Programs do have an academic component. To receive academic credit for a co-op the student must apply and be accepted by the department co-op coordinator.
