What kind of opportunities does a Private Equity Internship open?

Hey Everyone,

To give some background, I am a senior at a non-target university, and I have decided to pursue a one year masters program next year. I have been actively looking for some strong internship opportunities for the summer before the program begins. I currently have an offer from a Private Equity firm with around 500m in assets. I was wondering what kind of jobs could I leverage this experience into when I am looking for a full time job next fall? I would appreciate any advice.
