Jobs & Internships

Chemistry

At PennWest Edinboro, student success is a top priority. That's why we encourage our Chemistry students to take advantage of the many fantastic internship opportunities that prepare them for jobs and rewarding careers.

Internships

Experiential learning is an invaluable tool in helping students to make career decisions and in complementing formal classroom learning.

Our chemistry and science students have interned at dozens of sites, including the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office, UPMC Health Systems, the Smithsonian Institution, G & C Labs and the National Park Service, just to name a few.

While some PennWest Edinboro majors require an internship, cooperative education, student teaching or research experience, many students elect to pursue an internship to augment their educational portfolio. Every major has one or more designated internship directors to assist students with identifying opportunities and coordinating credits.

If you are interested in internship experiences, please contact the Chemistry Department internship coordinator, or visit the Center for Career Development’s internship webpages for more information.
