An internship within your field is one of the best ways to enhance job prospects after graduation. Internships in Media and Information fields prepare students for the real world by providing not only on-the-job practical experience, but also the opportunity to network and obtain valuable professional contacts. Most graduates feel the experiential learning gained through internships was instrumental in helping them land that important first job.
IMPORTANT: If you are scheduled to interview for an internship and either cannot make the interview or have decided you don't want the internship, you MUST call or otherwise notify the potential employer. Failure to do so impacts those who come after you - the potential employer may not want to interview any more ComArtSci students due to unprofessional behavior.
Note: At this time, Disney internships are NOT accepted.
