The Robert E. Cook Honors College [Internships]

"I had an internship last summer at the National Drug Intelligence Center, I have been asked to come back this summer, but first I will be working as an intern with the Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI for a semester. I heard so many times during my internship at NDIC, 'it is so fascinating to see a college student who is able to contribute to this project, who is able to think for themselves, or to argue for themselves.'"

Josh Mehall, Class of 2002

Internships

We know... your head is already spinning just thinking about picking a college. It's hard to think about something like an internship. And why should you care?

Well, here's why. Nationally, over 80% of students complete an internship before gradation , and of that number, over 65% complete two internships.

These are the people you will be competing with someday not just for jobs, but for law school , graduate school, an MBA, and even for medical school. It's not enough to just attend a good school and earn top grades anymore. You also need to show work experience.

At the Robert E. Cook Honors College, the internship support program offer the personal attention that will make the difference, and someday that will matter. Plus, IUP has the largest internship program in Pennsylvania. That translates into lots of opportunities.
