Information for Online Students
Penn is committed to providing the support every student needs for their success. Students in online programs have needs based on the nature of their educational program and distance from campus. Penn provides tailored services for online students, mostly delivered online or virtually.
Online students in a degree program have access to Handshake, where they can search and apply for jobs from thousands of employers who are seeking Penn students and alumni. Online students may also participate in virtual career fairs hosted on the platform. We have also curated a set of career resources for online students, which you will find below. Additionally, we partner regularly with your online academic programs to bring you webinars and virtual workshops that can assist you in your career journey.
Online Master’s students also have access to the Beyond Graduate School platform through Penn’s subscription. This comprehensive platform has been designed specifically for the Master’s student experience, and focuses on all stages of the career development process that are critical to making effective professional and career next steps.
While we invite online students to access these online resources designed for them, please note that individual appointments and walk-ins, as well as on campus career fairs, interviewing and on campus programs, are designed and reserved for on campus students. Please refer to your program administrators if you have questions and see our eligibility policies for more information.
