How UConn Marketing Students Can Find Internships and Job Opportunities

Start with the Marketing Department's Internship & Job Opportunities section on marketing.business.uconn.edu. It is the department's own hub for connecting students with recruiters and employers, and it is the most direct entry point the site offers. From there, students typically branch into three tracks: department-posted opportunities and recruiter connections, the undergraduate Plans of Study pages for program context, and faculty or news content that signals which areas of marketing the department is active in. The steps below reflect what the site actually publishes; where a specific process (such as application deadlines or eligibility rules) is not described on the site, confirm it with the department or the UConn School of Business undergraduate office.

Step 1: Go to the department's internship and job section

The Marketing Department homepage lists Internship & Job Opportunities as a top-level area, alongside Undergraduate Programs, Graduate Programs, the Ph.D. Program, and Faculty Research. The section is described as serving both recruiters and students, which means it functions as a two-sided board rather than a student-only listing.

What to expect when you use it:

• Students use it to find internship and job leads and to understand how the department connects them with employers.
• Recruiters use the same area to reach marketing students, so postings there are aimed specifically at UConn marketing talent rather than a general job board.

If you are a student, treat this as your first stop each recruiting cycle rather than a one-time visit.

Step 2: Confirm your program path before you search

Internship eligibility and timing often depend on which program you are in, and the department organizes its offerings into distinct paths:

For undergraduates, the School of Business Plans of Study page (linked from the site) is the place to check your required courses. Knowing your plan of study tells you which semesters can absorb an internship without delaying graduation — a practical constraint that matters more than most students expect.

Step 3: Use faculty research and news as a targeting tool

The department highlights hands-on learning combined with cutting-edge research and an emphasis on socially responsible business practices. The Faculty Research and Recent News sections are useful for a less obvious reason: they show which marketing areas the department is strongest in and which employers and projects are connected to that work.

For example, if you want a consumer-insights or brand-strategy internship, reading recent faculty work and department news helps you speak credibly in an interview about the department's focus areas and align your application with the kind of employer the department attracts. This is preparation, not a listing — but it makes the listings you do find more actionable.

Step 4: Build the recruiter connection from both sides

Because the internship section explicitly addresses recruiters and students, the department's model is relationship-based: employers come to the department to reach students. That means students get the most out of it by being visible and prepared:

• Keep your resume and LinkedIn current before you browse, since recruiter-facing content assumes you are ready to be contacted.
• Check the section regularly during peak recruiting periods rather than only at the start of the semester.
• If you are an employer or alum hoping to recruit, use the same section to understand how the department connects you with students.

Common sticking points

• Treating the page as a static list. The section is a connection point between students and recruiters; revisit it across the term.
• Skipping the Plans of Study check. An internship that conflicts with required courses creates avoidable scheduling problems.
• Assuming all programs use the same process. Undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. paths are organized separately on the site; use the one that matches your enrollment.
• Expecting published deadlines or pay details. The site describes the opportunity area but does not publish specific application timelines or compensation terms; confirm those directly with the department or the employer.

Where to start, in one line

Open marketing.business.uconn.edu, go to Internship & Job Opportunities, confirm your program path through Undergraduate Programs or Graduate Programs and the Plans of Study page, then use Faculty Research and Recent News to sharpen how you present yourself to the recruiters the department connects you with.
