Marketing Internship Approval Request Form

Marketing internships are designed to provide work experiences that cannot be taught in the classroom. Marketing internships that qualify for three hours of university credit must be marketing-related. Marketing-related internships are broadly defined and can extend over a wide range of work related activities, including but not limited to:

  • inside or outside sales, customer service, or advertising/promotion
  • direct marketing account management and product development
  • managing existing company and external data and databases
  • conducting marketing research studies
  • analyzing and interpreting online and offline data
  • using data mining techniques to conduct market segment analyses
  • problem solving skills using business segmentation and buying processes

After securing an approved internship, I understand that a minimum of 250 hours of work is required, three progress reports must be sent electronically to my advisor (each a minimum of two weeks apart), and a final project is due one week upon returning to JMU campus for the Fall semester. Upon returning to campus I will schedule an exit interview with my advisor.

An evaluation from my employer will be received by my advisor the first week I return to classes.

My employer will be expected to submit an online assessment of my work during the internship.
