Jobs & Internships
CCS is dedicated to preparing students for interviews and job opportunities.
The CCS Internship Program allows qualified students to earn academic credit while gaining first-hand experience in their chosen fields. Internships are available to BFA students with a junior or senior ranking and MFA students who completed one year of course work– although it is never too early to begin researching opportunities.
Internship Requirements: BFA students must be of a junior or senior status, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8. Transfer students must have attended a minimum of one semester at CCS, in addition to meeting all other criteria. MFA students must complete one year of course work with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Students applying for an internship must have their portfolios reviewed and approved by a full-time faculty member in their department before applying.
