Abstract: Internships are typically viewed as beneficial for students, employers, and universities. While it is often noted that universities benefit from student internships, the literature regarding this aspect is more limited. This study seeks to address this limitation, by exploring one particular posited benefit - curriculum feedback. To do this, employers and student interns are both surveyed to assess academic preparedness. A single, comprehensive item was used, along with discipline-specific items based on a taxonomy of learning. Given this effort is associated with a college of business, five core academic disciplines were explored - accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations management.
