Careers: Internships - Overview

    Economics major are encouraged to take advantage of the well established internship program of the Economics and Finance department. The internship program is meant to supplement classroom instruction with hands-on experience. Consequently, it is desirable that students pursuing internships should have finished their sophomore year. Approved internship programs can be undertaken for academic credit as either ECO 411 or ECO 412 - depending on the number of internship credits approved. These internship opportunities have helped students acquire relevant industry experience that have helped students distinguish themselves after graduation. The number of internship credits granted depends on the number of hours of experience accrued during the internship.

    Internship opportunities are usually posted on the department's bulletin board located on the 3rd floor at Andersen (South Wing). Students have found it useful to conduct their own job searches via the university's Career Development Center, personal contacts, alumni network, etc. For more information on internships, including internship credits, opportunities, approval of job site, etc, students should contact Kevin Dunleavy via email at kdunleavy@wcupa.edu, or by calling (610) 436-3422.
