Take Winter Quarter If… Take Spring Quarter If…
• Internship has non-flexible/negotiable early start date (Investment Banking and some Tech companies)
• Opting for early internship start date to accommodate KWEST leadership or other end-of-summer obligations
• Credit space created by MECN-430, FINC-430 and/or MKTG-420 waivers
• Internship timing does not impact Spring quarter exams
• Desire to prioritize an elective in Winter Quarter over OPNS-430 requirement
