Internships

The internship program at The Art Institute of Philadelphia is designed to augment classroom training by exposing students to practical work situations while maintaining an educational focus. Internships introduce students to the work world in a controlled, supervised environment.

Many upper-quarter students qualify academically and professionally to work for academic credits as interns with cooperating employers. Internships provide students an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in their fields.

The goals of the internship program are to:

  • Gain applied practical experience
  • Develop familiarity with professional work environments
  • Make professional contacts
  • Provide employers with qualified candidates

"Working in the industry is an entirely different situation than writing a paper or taking a test. The first hand experience I gained through the school's internship program has been invaluable, and has helped form the person I want to be, and the fashion professional I am going to be."
