Internships

Internships provide wonderful and challenging opportunities for you to participate in the design process in a professional environment prior to graduation. They help you understand expectations of different areas of design, and provide valuable experience that will ultimately help you in your professional pursuits.

Design Studies requires a 6-hour internship during the summer between the 3rd and 4th year of the program to provide work experience within your area of concentration.

Internship placements must be approved, and course credit is provided through DSGN 491A.

Questions about the internship experience should be directed to Judith Wasserman , internship coordinator, at  Judith.Wasserman@mail.wvu.edu
