Business Internships
Having access to New York City, the financial capital of the world, is part of the Adelphi experience.
The internship office in the Willumstad School of Business provides resources and opportunities—helping more than 1,600 students secure internships.
From researching positions to creating résumés and submitting applications, all the way through day-to-day mentoring, you’ll find support and advice at every step from world-class professors and business experts.
Six Ways Internships Help You Succeed
- Explore career options and professional interests firsthand
- Test the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in real-world situations
- Add professional experience to your résumé
- Build a network of professionals and potential mentors
- Develop marketable skills and self-confidence
- Earn: Nearly all of the internships obtained by recent Willumstad students were paid
I know it’s hard to be a student and think about working on top of the schoolwork you already have, but go for it. Take advantage of resources and talk to your peers to figure out what opportunities they’ve had.
