Sophomore Summer Internship - lateral to another position the following summer?

I applied over the summer for several IB internships. Two companies have recently asked if I'd consider Operations. I'm assuming I may have been rejected for the IB internships. If they like me, would I be expected to return to operations the following summer? Or would I be stuck in Ops forever?
