Internships in Media Arts & Production
Gain Immersive Experience
Internships can open doors to your future after graduation.
Experience is the bedrock of our program's foundation. With hands-on opportunities in local organizations, you'll craft stories by learning videography and sound design, as well as how to assemble your story through editing. The goal of our program is to provide you with opportunities to create a portfolio, so when you're job hunting, you can show employers your skills.
Internships for Credit
Generally, internships involve about 50 hours of field work for each credit, so about 150 hours for a three-credit internship; this is about 10 hours per week during a regular semester. Internships are to follow these expectations:
Internship Grading
Internships are graded based on the quality of performance and the quality of the final paper.
Supervised Internship
The off-campus internship supervisor is expected to oversee your work and ensure the position offers educational value and a good experience.
Faculty Mentor
A faculty mentor on campus oversees the internship, meets periodically with the student during the semester, reviews written work and submits a grade.
Write About It
The intern completes a paper evaluating their experience during the internship and connecting internship experience with material learned in traditional classes.
