INTERNSHIPS

Integrated Media students can participate in internships for academic credit in their second year. Internships are competitive, and students are usually required to submit a résumé and show a portfolio to an employer before being offered an internship. Most internships are for 4 credits or 120 hours of work during 10 weeks. Either the student or the employer pays tuition for the internship credit (approximately $365 total for 4 credits). Since second year students attend class on Mondays and Wednesdays, interns are usually availableto work on Tuesdays, Thursdays and/or Fridays.
