Salary for internships

An internship is more than a summer job. It’s an opportunity for Kelley students to explore industries and careers and gain real-world experience that will make them more attractive to employers after graduation. Increasingly, internships are also a recruiting tool for employers—a high percentage of them offer full-time positions to successful interns. So, competition is fierce.


As of August 1, 2024, internships were reported by 97 percent of students in the projected Class of 2025 who were actively engaged in seeking an internship.
