The Kelley School of Business puts a premium on experiential learning in all of its academic programs. In the Full-Time MBA Program, internships are integral for preparing students for their first day on the job after graduation, and for students' career management training. The internship search is essentially a trial run for students' full-time employment search in their second year. Students can expect to put in long hours researching industries and companies, building their professional networks, and honing their interview skills.
