PrintDegree requirements
Both the ESPBA and the ESPBS degrees require that you complete 3 credits of study abroad or internship. Let me repeat that...study abroad OR internship. You need not do both.
Please don't stress - we know that many of you have jobs, kids, and probably a mortgage too! When you're thinking of your options regarding the study abroad/internship requirement, we want you to think outside of the box. What I mean by that is, don't think that you have to find a "traditional" study abroad/internship opportunity. You can fulfill this degree requirement in many different ways! We have had students be very creative and find wonderful solutions to meeting the degree requirements while not giving up their jobs or their entire summers!
The options available will be outlined in the following pages. But here are the cliff notes regarding this requirement:
- ESP students are required to complete one OR the other - a study abroad or internship
- Your study abroad/internship experience can look very different than "traditional" study abroad/internship experiences
- It does not need to be completed in the summer semester, again, think outside of the box!
- If you have lived abroad or have completed an internship in the past, you may be eligible to apply for a waiver for this requirement
