Internship Program
Our Office of Career Development identifies and develops internships we believe would be of interest and value to students. The internships are paid and provide students with practical hands-on work experience under the direction of practicing artists and designers.
The internship application process is competitive and companies base their selections on several factors, including resume, portfolio and possible interview.
Students may request school credit with the joint approval of the Career Development Office and their Department Chair.
Eligibility Requirements
Students in their fifth through seventh terms, who are in good academic standing (2.5 or higher cumulative GPA), are eligible to apply for internships arranged through the Office of Career Development. Before applying for any internship, international students studying under an F-1 Visa must first meet with the Center for the Student Experience to establish their internship eligibility based on immigration regulations.
