Internships

Employers want to hire graduates who have work experience, have proven their talents in a professional setting, and can display professional art in their portfolios. Internships provide the needed experience and allow students to continue developing their career goals. While internships are required for Industrial Design and Interior Design majors, other majors highly encourage internships with optional ways to meet those requirements.
