Internships typically begin on the first day of classes and end on the last day of classes. A student must complete reports as specified by the internship coordinator. These reports include a work log, a final report and an employer’s evaluation. The Canvas course, COB 490, has the course syllabus and the necessary documents to complete each requirement.
