For students interested in business internships...

There is no other way to put it; Internships are an invaluable addition to your resume and experience. Personally, my internship was one of the key reasons I was offered a job before graduation. The interviewer (now my co-worker), told me in the interviewing process that my internship was what set me apart and put me in as the lead candidate. Without my internship I’m not sure where I would be or what I would be doing. The best advice I can give is to take an internship when the opportunity arises. You will never regret the time you put into it and the knowledge you gain. A classroom only goes so far; real life experience is as true an education as there is.

Internships that provide students with practical experience in their majors are available to all Pitt-Bradford business degree programs.

Students - you must apply to your academic advisor for internship placement. Approval of an internship application is contingent upon satisfaction of the following requirements:

1. Junior standing
   
2. Cumulative 2.75 GPA, both in the major and overall
   
3. Approval of the faculty intern supervisor, student’s academic advisor, the division chair, and the dean of academic affairs
   

A maximum of 6 credits of internship may be applied toward graduation requirements. No more than 3 credits of internship may be taken at any one time. A minimum of 45 on-site hours must be completed per credit hour earned. Student interns are directed in their work by the employing agency and evaluated jointly with the faculty intern advisor. Grading is on a pass-for-credit basis.

To apply for an internship listed on this site, email your resume to Diana Maguire - dsm20@pitt.edu - with the subject line of the email indicating for which internship you wish to apply.
