<p>For any current Maryland business students, how are the internship opportunities within the Smith school? Does the CP Scholars program help at all when looking for an internship? Thanks!</p>
<p>Smith parent here. The fall job fair is a great way to make connections as is the HireSmith job board. Note, however, that there are many more postings on HireSmith for some business majors than for others. Additionally, each day a different employer will be planted in the lobby of the Smith School for the purpose of recruiting. Scholars is a non-factor in an internship search.</p>
<p>Sweet. Are most of the companies that recruit on campus from the D.C. area? How has your son or daughter’s experience at Smith been so far?</p>
<p>The smaller companies are predominantly from the MidAtlantic area whereas the national companies may send delegates from their local offices to recruit but they will pass your credentials along to the appropriate office of your choice if you impress them. Great career opportunities and research resources at Smith; classes are not particularly challenging though.</p>
