Gain the Experience You Need to Launch Your Career 

Internships with our partner programs and beyond offer you the chance to build your skills, make industry connections, and expand your professional networks.

If there is a particular space within the industry where you know you want to work, like animation, visual effects, art direction, or character modeling, focusing your internship in that area means that you’ll be able to test drive your future career prior to graduation. When assessing an internship, we recommend asking the following questions: 

  • Will this internship lead to opportunity for future employment with the company? 
  • What kinds of projects and tasks do they anticipate you working on as an intern? 
  • Is the internship paid? And if not, are expenses covered? 

Opportunities are continuously shared with enrolled students in the program via email, and students are encouraged to pursue openings if they come across supplementary options. If students discover a new internship opportunity, they are encouraged to review the details with our advisor, Jeremy Tuohy, to ensure that it meets the requirements of the program.
