International Field Experience Program in Marketing and Public Policy

Overview
The International Field Experience Program—sponsored by the Center for Marketing and Public Policy Research—provides a select group of VSB sophomores and juniors the opportunity to gain practical experience in the exciting field of marketing and public policy. Over the course of this 10-week, for-credit program, students will work on multiple assignments, rotating between two companies—or between divisions within the same company—in the same geographic area. Assignments may involve marketing planning and implementation, research, sales, and lobbying, among other tasks.

Eligibility
All VSB majors are eligible; students must have completed their sophomore year and completed Competitive Effectiveness (VSB 2020) by the end of the spring prior to summer participation. A minimum overall GPA of 2.5 is required.
