Postgraduate Professional Development Program
The Postgraduate Professional Development Program (PPDP) extends the benefits of the full-time internship concept to individuals who have already completed their undergraduate education.
This program enables people who do not need to earn academic credit the opportunity to experience a full-time internship in an area of their interest, helping them to learn more about a field or solidify career or graduate-school plans. PPDP participants must have finished their bachelor's degrees within the previous 18 months or be enrolled in a graduate program. The program runs for 15 weeks in the fall and spring and 10 weeks in the summer.
Recent graduates may take advantage of this program during the fall, spring or summer. The program is also ideal for graduate students during the summer term when they may not be enrolled in classes.
A $250 nonrefundable deposit is due at the time of application to this program.
