Experiences Beyond the Classroom: Health Policy and Administration

Internships

All students will have the chance to get hands-on experience outside of the classroom through our internship program. There are classes to help you develop your professional skills and identify internship opportunities.

• Health Policy and Administration Undergraduate Program

As an intern, you will have the opportunity to spend weeks in a professional heath care setting, developing skills and building relationships with others in the field.

Your internship is a valuable component to your Health Policy and Administration program. We can help you identify and apply to the ideal internship opportunity with our strong alumni network and professional connections in the industry. Plus, you will have the power of Penn State’s large worldwide alumni network.
