The Black School of Business at Penn State Behrend is committed to providing the highest quality education possible to its students. We encourage students to complete at least one internship before graduation. Students benefit from internships by establishing professional contacts, exploring career options, and gaining valuable work experience all, with a sense of personal accomplishment. Sponsoring organizations observe employment prospects on a relatively long-term basis and accomplish projects that might not be otherwise possible at existing staffing levels. Internships can be flexibly structured based on the needs of the sponsoring organization and the student (subject to Black School of Business Internship Policy Guidelines).
Before you begin:
- To be eligible for an internship, you must have officially declared a major within the business program.
- Your internship must be in one of the nine disciplines of the Black School of Business.
- You must be active at the internship during the semester that you register for credit. In other words, under no circumstances may a student register for an internship during a semester where the student is not actively working at the internship (e.g., fall credit for a summer internship)
