·    An internship is a great opportunity to expand and apply the tools and ideas you've learned in your Economics courses. Any type of job in which you can apply or illustrate your economics knowledge is a candidate for an internship. If you have a possible internship and wish to know if it will be applicable to the Economics major, contact Terri Sexton .

·    An internship can count for 1-3 units of credit towards the Economics major (please see the requirements for the economics major for more details). For each unit, the student is expected to work 50 hours per semester.
