Complete an internship
Philadelphia is an ideal place to find an internship. There are numerous opportunities specific to students' career interests. Making connections in a major urban environment will have lasting benefits.

Take classes at Temple University or other local institutions
Students may apply to live on-campus while taking courses at Philadelphia area institutions. The Philadelphia Campus is located on Temple University's campus, providing a convenient and safe place to live while studying there.
Students are responsible for making their own arrangements to register and pay for summer courses. Philadelphia Campus staff do not assist students in registering for classes offered at Temple University as they do for fall and spring semester students. For more information about summer courses offered at Temple University, go to www.temple.edu/summer.
Find out if the courses you plan to take are transferrable to Messiah College. In MCSquare, go to the Academic Life tab, Registrar Channel. Click on "Course Equivalency Database." Search for the course you plan to take (may be easiest to search by the school name). If the course is not listed there, you must complete a Transfer Equivalency Form, available in the Registrar's Office or Philadelphia Campus Enrollment Office.
