Internships

A key component of each program is the internship -- supervised work experience with a Chicago business, non-profit organization, or arts group.

Students work 12-15 hours per week at the internship site. Group discussions in the ACM Chicago programs allow students to reflect on their work experiences and to connect them to their academic work. Direct supervision in the field and contact with a faculty advisor insure academic quality.

Both Urban Studies and Chicago Arts have placed students in over 350 sites in a wide range of fields. Chances are, no matter what your interests, you can find a Chicago internship that helps you develop your skills, refine your interests, and prepare you for the world beyond college.
