This program enables students to work with established design professionals specifically related to their career interests. Under the direction of the department Chair and the Director of Career and Alumni Services, students are carefully evaluated to facilitate the best possible student/sponsor connection, and a planned program of activities is then coordinated with the professional internship sponsor. Students are exposed to a variety of on-the-job experiences such as space planning, drafting, showroom use, presentation boards, installation supervision, and client and manufacturer interaction. Students must participate in a scheduled pre-internship seminar prior to enrolling for the Internship program. Upon successful completion of the internship program, students will have real-world experience working with a design and/or architectural firm that prepares them to successfully enter the design profession. Prerequisites: Senior status and department Chair approval
