Internship Opportunities

The urban setting of the University is a significant asset to a student's education as it offers a wide range of opportunities to augment program activities, frequently only a short walk away.  One of the main goals of the department is to support students in learning situations off-campus that are supplemental to their theater and film education. When such opportunities arise, students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of them. Students make arrangements through a department area advisor to register for academic credit for professional, K-12, and community-based projects in theatre and film.* For a primer on setting up your internship, see the Theater Arts Internship Packet
