  • To give you the professional experience needed to be hired for management, IUP requires you to have at least 800 hours of field experience prior to graduation. Summer jobs in the hotel and restaurant sectors are an excellent way to engage with a community and acclimate to your field of choice.
  • At least 400 hours must be through an internship, which is required for this major. Internships, domestic and international, are an essential step in your education. They are geared toward job recruiters who expect prospective employees to have ample experience upon graduation. Some internships lead to postgraduate employment.
