Internships and Externships
Use your summers for internships. The CLS will help you locate one that鈥檚 a good fit and, if it鈥檚 unpaid or doesn鈥檛 pay quite enough, you can apply for funding. In 2017, the CLS provided over $450,000 to help cover students鈥 housing, food, and transportation expenses. We want to make sure you never have to say no to a great opportunity in New York or Beijing because of finances.
During spring break in your first or second year, you can choose to obtain a fully funded job-shadowing opportunity with a 麻豆传媒 alum. These 鈥渆xternships鈥 let you get a taste of a career to see if it鈥檚 something you want to explore further. And you don鈥檛 even have to have declared a major yet.
