I asked what the dress code was for my internship this summer and was told it is "Business Professional." What does that mean? I figured it is just code for suit and tie every day, but was also told not wearing a suit would be appropriate - so how does that differ from business casual?

Wear a suit the first day and see what everyone else is wearing. Its not complicated.
