Internships
The 5th largest city in the nation, Philadelphia has hundreds of professional opportunities, making it a great place to complete an internship.  Students get specific to their interests and often determine their career goals during a semester internship. Networking and earning references in Philadelphia often leads students to job offers upon graduation. Students also enjoy the independence an internship provides; they quickly get used to taking public transportation downtown and riding the elevator to the 12th floor or riding their bike to a small nonprofit organization.
MCPC students can take anywhere from 1-12 credits of Internship or Professional Development Experience, choosing from the following options:
