The Darla Moore School of Business | University of South Carolina

Internships

One cannot fully understand global business by reading a book. An internship through the Darla Moore School of Business is no mere road trip touring another country. Instead, as part of the International MBA program, all students live and breathe the business culture of another country, an experience that prepares them for life as a global manager. No matter where they will work in the future – in the United States or another country –students will be able to think and act globally.

The Moore School successfully pioneered the concept of an international internship more than a quarter-century ago. Since then, more than 4,000 students have worked as interns in more than 30 countries. All students of the International MBA program are required to spend up to 20 weeks working for a domestic or international employer. This requirement sets the International MBA program apart from its competitors. No other international business program requires its students to have an internship of this length, yet such experience is critical. Through this process, students transform what has been learned in an academic setting into marketable, practical business skills they can apply in real-world situations.
