Internships in Graduate Schools

<p>I have applied to (and been accepted) to two schools to get my masters petroleum management. One of the programs operates around a standard academic calender allowing for summer internships while the other is 16 months straight. I was wondering how important summer internships are for post grad school employment. I should also mention that I have no industry specific work experience yet and am graduating this spring with the intention of entering in the fall.</p>
