Which school is better for finance internships, UNH or University of Delaware?

I’m trying to decide between UNH and the University of Delaware and finance internships are a big part of my decision. I want to go somewhere that gives students a real shot at getting internship experience and building connections in finance.

I’m not just looking at the classroom side. I’m mainly wondering which school tends to be stronger for internship opportunities and recruiting in finance.

For finance internships specifically, the University of Delaware usually gives students a broader set of options and a more active recruiting corridor. Its location puts you within reach of Philadelphia, Wilmington, New York, and other East Coast markets, and Delaware has unusually strong ties to banking, corporate finance, credit, and financial services because so many major firms have operations in the state. If internships and networking in finance are a major priority, Delaware has the edge.

UNH can still work well for a student who is more interested in New England, is comfortable being more self-directed, or sees themselves targeting Boston, Portsmouth, or regional firms rather than a larger Mid-Atlantic finance network. The Peter T. Paul College has solid business resources, and motivated students can absolutely land internships. But the surrounding market is smaller, and finance recruiting is not likely to feel as dense or as convenient as it does at Delaware.

Another difference is the type of finance exposure you are likely to find. Delaware is especially appealing for students interested in corporate finance, banking-related roles, financial services, risk, and credit-oriented work. UNH may appeal more to someone who likes a smaller regional setting and is willing to network outward into Boston or other cities instead of expecting a strong volume of nearby finance employers.

So if your question is narrowly about which school gives you the stronger platform for finance internships and recruiting connections, University of Delaware is the more compelling option.
