what about both? My school requires an internship if you are in the business school… most of the internships are paid and you get academic credit… the internship starts with the student and hiring manager setting pre-set learning objectives that are approved by the school’s internship coordinator… and then the student meets with others doing internships in business areas, and each class member writes three papers throughout the semester about their experience–networking is also taught since it is likely that students from the same school may cross paths again during their careers. It’s pretty effective.

BTW, even if a company isn’t serious about keeping you on board after an internship it still looks good on your resume.
