商业中的体验式学习
BA 495A is a senior-level project activity that is intended to build upon all of a student's previous coursework in business, links the theoretical with day-to-day practical applications, and represents the single largest event in the Bachelor of Science in 业务 (BSB) program. This course is where the student will design an internship with a business organization in which they have a particular interest and, under the supervision of a faculty member, will practice integrating and applying business fundamentals and skills in a field setting, 进行分析, 准备一份全面的论文, and give a presentation of their work.
All parties involved in the internship project should benefit from the experience. The student should receive practical, "hands-on" experience in the business world. The employer benefits from having a highly motivated intern who can contribute to the success of the business. The University benefits from the contacts and goodwill generated by placing our students with local, 区域, 国家, 以及国际组织. As with many of the other courses within the BSB curriculum, this course further reinforces the development of writing and presentation skills, but also helps the student integrate and apply business administration skills and competencies.
Brandywine 业务 internships included Marketing, 会计, Management and other internship positions in more than 60 organizations over the past 3 years. Internship positions include both for profit and non-profit organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial endeavors to large, 跨国组织. Our interns performed duties ranging from collecting data and preparing spreadsheets to developing marketing plans for the release of new programs and projects. Students academically process internship learning through extensive written assignments, a comprehensive research paper on the assessment of the internship, and a public presentation of the project.
Upon registration, BA 495A internship materials are available on-line in Canvas. Brandywine students have successfully completed internships locally, 国家ly and inter国家ly. The on-site internship supervisors should hold a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, 提供监督和支持, and evaluate students through mid-semester and final performance appraisals. The 业务 实习协调员 will meet with the intern and be available as an active partner throughout the internship experience.
