Our department capitalizes on the vast opportunities available by virtue of its location in New York City. Our students have established an outstanding reputation within the various communication industries located in the metropolitan area. We have built strong ties with companies ranging in size from leading corporate affiliates to small entrepreneurial entities to non-profit organizations.

The internship program for undergraduates of junior and senior standing to graduate-level students promotes the integration of academic theory with practical experience. In addition to completing administrative tasks around their respective work environments, interns are often exposed to networking opportunities, mentored by industry professionals, and taught the skills necessary to succeed in their industry. Above all, the internship program expands student understanding of the dynamics of the ever-changing fields of traditional and new media.

Often, students will use their internship to either validate career aspirations or develop new direction. We encourage most students to do several internships during their academic career to obtain the best understanding of their chosen career field.
