INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Business students are strongly encouraged to hold an internship position before graduating. Participating in an internship will greatly benefit students in the future, as most employers want to hire people with practical experience. Many internships can lead to job offers upon graduation. After the sophomore year, students may receive up to six hours of college credit by completing an internship..

The Career Services Office has provided internship opportunities for business majors with many companies in the past, including: AMP, Armstrong Utilities, Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania, Brabender Cox, EDS, General Electric, H.B.

CAREER AND GRADUATE SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES

Your business education involves more than classroom instruction. It also requires schooling in the techniques of seeking a job. Together with the Career Services Office, the department faculty assists you in this process. Career Services conducts seminars for students on topics such as writing a resume and cover letter, interviewing, and networking so that they begin their job hunt well-prepared.

Our placement record is outstanding, as illustrated by the large number and high quality of businesses recruiting our graduates. These firms include national and regional accounting firms; companies such as ALCOA, Accenture, Aristokraft, Armstrong World Industries, Deluxe Check Printers, Federated Investors, John Hancock Financial Services, Liberty Mutual, Northwestern Mutual, Pillsbury, Prudential, and Upjohn Pharmaceuticals; and banks such as Bank One, Mellon Bank and PNC Bank.
