Summary/Abstract: This article assesses the difference between economics students' expectations and actual internship experiences. Non-parametric statistical analysis was used to examine the variations. This research was divided into two phases. During the first stage, students' expectations for internships were evaluated. The faculty selected a group of students to participate in an experiment, which was an internship program that was thoroughly thought out. Both students and host organizations received support from the faculty throughout the entire process. Pre-and post-internship results showed substantial differences. This article concludes with a discussion of research limitations and conclusions.
