You could threaten to quit. But then you wouldn't get class credit. The company knows this, so there isn't likely anything you can do.
Honestly? It's how the game is played. Be happy to get ANY pay for an internship--many internships are done for no pay. Just deal with it and get your class credit, then move on. If you really are doing a good job, the company might offer you the job at 5x the pay you're getting now.

I am a 2nd year MBA student with about 2 years of work experience. Recently I had to join this company for a 4-month internship because it is part of the syllabus of the MBA program.
Anyway I am doing the "internship" but I am finding nothing new to learn and I am being assigned the same job what I used to do previously but getting 1/5th of the compensation. I feel like I should re-negotiate because it's like I am doing a job in the name of internship but I am not sure how this will turn out. On top of that I have to spend daily for about 4 hours in transit.
