ARCHST 4940 Internships
ARCHST 4940 - Internship provides a "real world" view of what
goes on in the profession of interior design or architecture. An intern
has direct contact with practitioners and may also have opportunities
for contact with related specialists. Many interns meet "real" clients,
observe interaction between designer and client, and observe/ participate
in the full design process.
The firm sponsoring an intern also benefits from the relationship. Prior to enrolling in ARCHST 4940 - Internship each student acquires interior design skills in course work through the junior year. Individual students often have particular strengths in some of the skills acquired, such as space planning, drafting, CADD, selection of materials, preparation of sample boards, etc. Courses completed and descriptions are included later in this brochure. Interns can also be helpful with many routine tasks such as typing, filing and keeping resource areas usable.
An internship offers both the intern and the firm a "sneak
preview"/ extended interview. The sponsor/intern relationship can initiate
networking and reference opportunities and in some cases may lead to full-time
employment with the sponsor's firm.
