But remember\u2014internships take planning! You’ll need to prepare your resume ahead of time, and many internships also ask for a portfolio of your work. This website has lots of resources to help you build your resume<\/a>, put together a portfolio<\/a>, and even write a professional bio<\/a> about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t worry\u2014getting ready for internships isn’t as hard as it might seem at first! There are workshops, information sessions, and plenty of support to help you every step of the way. Start planning early, get help when you need it, and you’ll be on your way to an exciting and rewarding internship experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n All majors in the Media Arts and Technology Department are required to complete an experiential learning class which can be an internship class. The internship class is MEA 371 Media Arts & Technology Internship. Internships are supported by the Office of Internships and Experiential Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike most classes, you can\u2019t register for MEA 371 on CUNYfirst<\/strong>. There is a process that you need to complete. The reason we have this process is to help make sure that you understand what will be required of the internship class and that you\u2019re prepared for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click here to find out more about how to register for the Internship class<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CUNY and BMCC have a number of resources to help you get an internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following programs are sponsored by CUNY and designed to help you <\/strong>get an internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an internship program specifically designed for students who have never had a paid internship while a CUNY student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Internship opportunities start at the beginning of March and last until early May.
