Employer Engagement Overview

We invite and welcome employers and organizations who wish to partner with us and engage with our business students. We provide a variety of unique, fun and meaningful ways for you to connect with our students.

Employers interested in recruiting students and alumni of our MBA, MBA for Executives, International MBA, and MS in Accountancy programs, visit Graduate Career Services.

Academic Internships

The College of Business offers an Academic Internship program where students may opt to complete an internship for academic credit if they wish; however this is not required.

For an academic internship (student earns 3.0 credits in a semester), the company/organization must provide a supervised, paid experience that aligns with the student's concentration within the business major over the duration of an academic semester (approximately 150 hours over 15 weeks).

For more details regarding academic internship requirements or to post an opportunity, please visit our Internship section on the Business Job Board. Academic Internship Information

Special Events

Special Events for business students take place all throughout the academic year. We provide networking opportunities, career readiness events, information sessions with employers, and many different events designed to connect students with the local business community.

If you are an employer or organization who would like to engage with Sac State Business students, please review the wide variety of options to consider.

All of our events are designed to provide our students with the opportunity to interact with and network with companies and organizations where they may begin, build and engage in their own professional network and career development.

Study Break Events

We invite partnerships with companies and organizations who are seeking to engage and meet our business students to sponsor a Study Break Event during the Fall or Spring semester. This format allows excellent interaction with our students as they drop by in between classes. You provide the food/beverage and we provide the students. This is very popular with our students as it supports them and fits in with their busy schedules.

A Study Break Event is perfect for organizations who are looking for more visibility and exposure on campus or for direct recruiting opportunities. For this type of event, the organization works with the COB Office of Student Engagement to provide a coffee break, lunch break or snack break for the students. The COB OSE provides event coordination, promotion to students and all publicity with your company sponsorship information. The cost varies based on the type of event hosted.

If you are interested in setting up a Study Break Event, please complete our Study Break Interest Form and our team will reach out to you to discuss possibilities.OSE Study Break Event Interest Form
