Undergraduate Internships

How do I get an internship?
The Department of Media Study has a number of partnerships with local companies, galleries, organizations, broadcasting stations, etc., and students can request a list of these organizations from the department. In addition, the Department of Media Study is developing a number of summer and semester-long internship possibilities with media studios and corporations in Los Angeles, New York City and other media centers. We encourage students to explore their own internship opportunities (at production studios, local TV studios, and media access centers, for example). Students have recently interned with the David Letterman show, MTV, Tricoast Studios, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the Black Entertainment Network (BET), Human Code, Fireant Design, WBEN radio in Buffalo, and the Buffalo Pan Am Exposition project. For more information, contact the department secretary in 231 Center for the Arts, (716) 645-6902.

How many credit hours do I sign up for with an internship?

Internship credits are based on the number of hours you work per week with the internship organization:

3.5 hours/week = 50 hours = 1 credit hour
7 hours/week = 100 hours = 2 credit hours
10 hours/week = 150 hours = 3 credit hours
14 hours/week = 200 hours = 4 credit hours (maximum)
**Hours worked over 200 are for experience only.
