BIP Internship Seminar

The BIP internship seminar will be offered in Spring 2008. This seminar offers students a rare opportunity to analyze the business practices they observe during their summer internships using current organizational theories. One of the course requirements will be a 15-20 page paper in which students examine a particular aspect of the organization they worked for in light of theories and ideas presented during the Spring course.

Arts Management Internship Seminar

The Arts Management seminar is offered in the Spring. This seminar builds upon the Bus Inst 390 course in Arts Management. The central focus of the Seminar is built around a field study project/internship that each student will conduct with an arts organization in the Chicago area. This course provides students with a hands-on experience working with management at an arts organization, during which they can apply principles and strategies learned in the basic course.

The students are expected to work and/or do research on behalf of the arts organization approximately 2 half days per week;their work will be customized according to the needs of that organization. Each project will be arranged by the professor with the goal of providing value at a managerial level to both the student and the arts organization.
