Internships

Student on computer

BFA Graphic Design majors must complete a six-credit internship during their final year. Internships offer real-world experience that may even turn into your next job. Former students have worked as interns in St. Cloud, the Twin Cities, as well as New York, California, London, Dublin, and Australia. 

Some students complete 3 internship credits on campus, and then go off-campus to work in a design studio or agency. This type of work is a stepping-stone towards a deeper understanding of the profession.

BFA Studio Art majors may elect to complete a three-credit internship in place of an upper-division studio class.

Graphic Design operates a LinkedIn group that can help with networking and connecting with alumni.
