Summer Internships

We encourage you to talk with your academic advisor about earning departmental internship credits so that you can obtain credit for the experience and list it on your transcript. 

Students also can earn credit for taking classes while they do their summer internship. In fact, many students take up to nine credit hours of online coursework during their internship. More than 200 unique online classes are being offered this summer — a few popular options are listed below. 

Summer Internship Plus

The Summer Internship Plus scholarship provides Purdue undergraduate students completing off-campus summer internships up to $1,000 towards tuition and fees when enrolled in 6+ credit hours.
