Internship and OPT Information

MBA, MSF, and MSA students must complete a qualifying internship in order to graduate; these required internships are not eligible for academic credit. MSBA students are not required to complete an internship, but may complete an internship for credit if they wish. After receiving an internship offer, a student should follow these steps:

  1. Request approval in Handshake.
    • Log into Handshake using Clark credentials.
    • Click “Career Center”.
    • Click “Experiences”.
    • Click “Request an Experience”.
    • Complete the form.
    • Click the green “Request Experience” button.
    • Upload offer letter on the next screen.
  2. Apply for CPT through the ISSO portal.
  3. For MSBA students only… contact academic advisor in SOM to register for internship course.

Wait to receive I-20 before starting the internship. ISSO cannot backdate CPT applications. International students may not legally work at an internship, even an unpaid internship, without a new I-20 authorizing CPT.

Clark SOM issues an updated Academic Policies Manual each year. Current students are expected to follow the policies and rules that govern the students, faculty and staff at the School of Management. Please refer to this manual for information on academic integrity, health insurance, program and graduation requirements, career services, the grading system and more.

SOM Academic Policies & Procedures

Beta Gamma Sigma international honor society comprises students and scholars from business programs accredited by the AACSB International. Each spring, Clark SOM celebrates the academic achievement of its top performing students with an induction ceremony and reception. Students from each of the SOM graduate programs are eligible for consideration. The deadline for determination of who will be inducted is during the Spring Semester after Module A grades are posted. Students must meet the following criteria:

  • In final semester of degree program (or finished in the fall semester or previous summer).
  • Registered for all their remaining courses.
  • In good financial standing (zero account balance).
  • Have a cumulative GPA in the top 20% for M.B.A, M.S. in Accounting, M.S. in Business Analytics, M.S. in Finance, or M.S. in Management degree, or in the top 10% for the undergraduate management major.
  • Have no violations of academic integrity policies.

These students will be invited to join the Beta Gamma Sigma honors society. Students who are on this list for invitation will NOT have any incomplete grades and will have fulfilled all of the degree requirements for their program by the end of the semester.
