Internship Request Form
We appreciate your interest in Penn State's Professional Golf Management Program (PGM). As you know, the internships are a very important part of each student's education. We will make every effort to communicate the information you provide to our students. With this in mind, we are asking for a few minutes of your time to complete the remainder of this form.
From year-to-year we have a supply of approximately 150 students who will complete summer internships (May-August). Approximately 20 of these students will be available for summer and fall internships (May-December) and approximately 10 will be looking for a spring internship (January-April). Each year we receive over 500 internship opportunities. We will make every effort to match our students with the needs of your operation; however, due to supply and demand considerations, we are unable to provide a guarantee.
