How to Choose an MBA Internship
As the academic year comes to a close, many students are preparing for summer internships. Internships often lead to full-time jobs after graduation and help students to develop their professional networks. Internships also give students the opportunity to practice the skills that they have learned during classes. Most MBA programs require students to complete an internship over the summer after their first year in the program.
Choosing an internship that will benefit you as a student and as a professional can be a difficult task. Business Insider says that “The MBA summer internship is a major part of the business school experience and getting the right one is important. Good internships are extremely competitive and the struggling economy has made it harder than ever.” The website offers students several tips for choosing an internship.

Rutgers Real Estate Clubs Prosper with Help from Center for Real Estate Studies
The Rutgers Real Estate Club was established with the purpose of educating the student body on the Real Estate industry. The Club is a place for people interested in Real Estate, Internships and Business in general to come together and learn from experienced speakers in the industry and from each other. Over the past three years, the club has invited real estate professionals to talk about their experience at the club’s three to four events held every semester. The club’s connections have also helped some of the club members to get internships with some of the city’s leading companies.
Although the club was established before the Center for Real Estate Studies, the two have come together to help provide the Rutgers community with real estate education, internship opportunities and career guidance to help develop real estate industry leaders. The center is helping to fund the student real estate clubs in Newark and in New Brunswick and guide the clubs toward success.
