In addition to attending 3 workshops held throughout the school year, a minimum of 150 contact hours of internship is required. B.F.A. Graphic and Interactive majors are required to complete 3 internship credits. Internship opportunities should be within a professional design environment ideally under the mentorship of at least one design professional, and be approved by the internship coordinator/instructor. Internship credits are issued after the submission of required forms and a designed experience journal or formal presentation.
