Internships: |
The program provides a unique educational opportunity for interior design majors by extending the learning experience beyond the classroom and integrating academic theory with a comprehensive professional work experience. Each internship is planned and supervised by an interior design faculty person and a member of a design firm who jointly structure an individualized learning program designed to further the career objectives of the student. Because it is considered to be an important part of the learning process for this course, students, with the guidance of the professor, will arrange their own internship positions through standard professional means which include: researching the field for firms appropriate to the student's interests; composing a professional resume and cover letter; contacting the selected firms to determine their interest in employing an intern; arranging interviews; negotiating salary and/or other benefits; determining work schedule.
