Internship Profile

Prudential Financial

"Working at Prudential Financial has taught me what the business world is really about. This internship went beyond books and lectures. It put me in the middle of the action, exactly where I want to be when I graduate. I think I have an edge against many of the graduates that are going to come in in the class of 2003 - everybody is going to be competing for jobs and...employers are going to know that I was trained, that I have experience and that I was trained in leadership development."

About the Program

Drew is located in the midst of one of the largest concentrations of corporate headquarters and research centers in the country, and only 30 miles from New York City.

Because of our unique location, we can offer students unmatched opportunities for career discovery and development through internships for academic credit. Through this practical experience, students enrich the skills and theories learned in the classroom and see how they are applied in the workplace.

Moreover, as a member of a consortium of prestigious liberal arts colleges, Drew students have access to a database of thousands of internships throughout the country. Internships frequently lead to full time jobs for Drew students, either at the location of the internship or with another company in a related field.
