Internships

The Design Department encourages all design students to enhance their academic education with an internship related to their field of study.

Receiving hands-on work experience within a professional setting, helps students assess their interests, gain confidence, and develop professional skills.

How do I get an internship?

Securing an internship is similar to the process in obtaining a job: you must find, apply and receive an offer. It is recommended that you contact the internship coordinator in your program to discuss possible opportunities and/or interests. Browse Handshake, the online job board as employers periodically post opportunities. Receive the department's bi-monthly newsletter for highlighted opportunities. Reach out to local organizations that are of interest and inquire about internship opportunities.
