An important component of Catholic University’s MSBA program is the part-time internship a student takes during the school year. This internship complements classroom instruction and provides real-world, business experience. In addition to supplementing what we learn in class, these internships can serve as a gateway into the business world.
In my case, I did not know exactly what industry I wanted to
join after graduation. However, I wanted
to find an internship where I could gain new experiences which would be useful
in any industry. I was especially
interested in development because it included sales experience mixed with
strategy and customer service.
In September, I started as development intern with CUA’s
School of Business and Economics. This internship
has afforded me the opportunity to gain some sales knowledge and become better acquainted
with development in higher education. In
the month I have interned for the business school, I have already learned a
tremendous amount about development, particularly how to identify potential
donors and the methods used to build relationships with current donors. I have had the opportunity to work on the logistics for networking events which provide opportunities for
individuals to learn more about the school and those involved in it. It has been a great experience, and I am looking forward to learning more as the
year progresses.
