Internships

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the wealth of resources offered by New York City through internships at leading design studios, new-media web-related companies, video production houses, 3D animation studios, and other industry enterprises. These valuable opportunities often lead to permanent employment. Students are encouraged to participate in as many internships as they can to make industry connections and bridge alliances between the EDM classroom and the competitive design industry.

ART 39598 INTERNSHIP AS INDEPENDENT STUDY: A reminder, EDM students can take up to two internships for EDM elective credit using the ART 39598: Internship as Independent Study course designation on CUNYfirst. Each ART 39598 Internship credit will count as 3.0 credit hours and must be pre-approved by an EDM full time faculty mentor. Paperwork must be obtained from and returned to Suerynn Lee, Art Academic Advising Specialist, no later than two weeks prior to the registration cutoff for the semester in which you wish to obtain internship credit.
