To be eligible for JHBC internships, students must meet the following criteria:
- Junior, senior, or graduate level CSUSB Administration or Information Systems and Technology (IST) student
- Minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA (unless otherwise specified)
Students are encouraged to:
- Complete several concentration courses first. Concentration courses will directly relate to the internship, making the student a stronger candidate.
- Enroll in an internship course. Internship courses meet elective units within the concentration. Earn course credit while gaining experience!
The Process
- Prepare a résumé.
- Students are encouraged to seek assistance in preparing a résumé before applying for internships. This is important, as a résumé is typically the first impression, and/or method for applying online.
- Assistance is available through one of the following methods:
- Contact the JBHC Internship Coordinator for résumé assistance - send an email with a résumé attached, or request an appointment.
- Connect with the JBHC Professional Writing Office
- Connect with the Career Center
- Utilize other online resources
- Search for JHBC Internships - Current Openings! and other internship search resources. Connect with us on LinkedIn!
- Enroll for credit. Once an internship is obtained, understand the 'enrolling for credit' process, as well as the 'earning internship credit', which are reviewed below.
Enrolling for Credit
After an internship is obtained, students should begin the paperwork process.
All documents must be on file before enrolling in an internship course.
Students cannot self-enroll in internship courses.
All internship courses require department consent.
Students are successfully enrolled by the Internship Coordinator after all documents are received and approved.
