Students typically start internships the summer after their second year in the program. We recommend completing an internship after taking the Professional Practices (DES/ART295) course and passing Mid-Program Review. Remember you can have multiple internships over your time as a student!
Mid Program Review (MPR)
All Art and Design students participate in Mid-Program Review at the half-way point in the program. This formative review provides students the opportunity to reflect on their achievements and affirm that their current academic path aligns with their strengths, passions, and opportunities.
