Credits: 1.5

Students will enroll in this part II version of the course to meet the requirements of the internship. This senior-level course 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 + Alumni Services, students are carefully evaluated to facilitate the best possible student/sponsor connection. 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 in the internship program. Upon successful completion of the internship program, students will have real-world experience working with a design, architectural, or related firm that prepares them to successfully enter the design profession.
