The application of internship-related credits depends on each student’s unique circumstances and must be reviewed for each student individually. Generally speaking, the credits may be applied as an Approved Elective or Free Elective. Final determination must be determined by your Academic Advisor.
How much coursework is required for the internship course?Students will complete a few reflective assignments that require the application of relevant business skills to the professional environment in which they are working. The final project is an applied problem-solving white paper that addresses a specific challenge faced by the employer/industry; the student will provide consultative recommendations to the employer upon completion. All assignments will be clearly described in the course syllabus.
I’ve been offered an internship. How do I obtain credits for it? I already have a job. Can my work here count as an internship?Students are encouraged to complete internships that are related to their studies at RSBC. If you are currently employed in a role that aligns with your career, major, or field of study and offers the opportunity to learn and develop new skills in your field, the position will be considered for internship eligibility.
Can I complete two internships at the same company?Yes, you may apply for academic credit at the same company provided that your professional skills continue to be developed and challenged through additional responsibilities.

The seminar application process is our gateway for entry into the program. Upon acceptance into BLDP, students will be emailed their acceptance letter plus a special permission number allowing registration for the BLDP seminar.
Seminar applications are solicited each semester and require the following:
Rutgers-Camden students are invited to apply to apply for enrollment in the BLDP seminar. All applicants are expected to meet both of the following selection criteria: (1) have sophomore standing or above and (2) have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The director balances evaluations to make final decisions on people accepted for the seminar (up to a maximum of 15-20 each semester).
Students who are admitted to the BDLP are required to adopt the BLDP Code of Conduct. A signed contract is required from each student.
Students may count activities toward “leadership units” that were initiated prior to taking a seminar, as long as those activities occured primarily during their enrollment in their academic program.
Applications for the BLDP Seminar will be ongoing until class is filled.
