I am assuming they fulfilled class requirements and possibly internship/volunteer work that pushes them above starting positions, but haven't yet graduated and completed their degree thus making them not qualified enough for higher positions.

@21 No internship pushes them past entry level qualification. My guess is that OP is overqualified for another internship but underqualifies for an entry level position.

Umm. Actually, I have helped hire people for non-entry level positions due to experience from internships. And those who did not have internship experience started at the entry level positions. So I do know what I am talking about. And I said I was assuming. OP could very well have a different situation.
