Non-Credit Summer Internships

Exciting summer opportunities are available for Juniata students in virtually every academic area, and the Director of Career Services is available to assist students in finding academically-meaningful summer positions.  Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 to apply for a summer internships, and must submit a learning agreement plan.  With few exceptions, summer internships are not for credit, but can be officially noted on the student's transcript as an academically-valid experience.  Over 150 students participate in this program each summer.

The College encourages organizations to pay summer interns, and students have earned from minimum wage to $17.50/hr.  To qualify for transcript notation, a summer internship should last for a minimum of 240 hours and must be related to the student's P.O.E.  Each intern must be evaluated by his/her supervisor, and must make a presentation in the Fall.  If the Internship is deemed appropriate and successful, the experience will be noted on the students' transcript; e.g., BI 001 Internship: Biomedical Technician, Harrisburg, PA or EB 001 Internship: Retail Sales/Mktg., Seattle, WA.   While most students live and work near home, many students have taken advantage of summer internships as a way to travel and live in other areas.  Students have interned in locations ranging from Hawaii to California and in organizations such as: the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre,  Brigham and Women's Hospital, Johns Hopkins University, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, FCI Electronics, Advanced Glass Fiber Yarns, PA House Public Works Committee,  Mercy Regional Health System, Penn State College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Purdue Vet School.
