| 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.

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. | ||
