Some students have several internships throughout their undergraduate or graduate career. Internships serve several important functions~ Of course they give a student a chance to work in a variety of places, geographically as well as actual workplaces. Internships are a great way to 'try on' a job or deepen your experience in an area of interest. This past fall semester a student who is on track as a costume technician spent some time working Cirque Du Soliel's Ka in Las Vegas. She was given the opportunity to work in the costume shop, wardrobe, and she even spent a few days in the props shop. Internships are also a stepping stone to professional work. If a company has a job opening the student who is working in the shop or is in the cast as an extra has the added weight of being on the spot, you are a known entity.
Below is a list of places that our students, graduates and undergraduates, have interned over the years- our faculty understands how important internships are and the role that we play in setting up the paths that lead to good internships.
