Internship (6 academic Credits)
The internship is an opportunity to gain real-world experience, engage professionally and to open future opportunities in a competitive market through networking and professional development. While the Citadel Career Center supports all applicants with leads and connections, students are responsible for being very active in the internship application process including developing resumes and other application documents, applying to and following up with employers and engaging in the competitive interview processes.

The 3hr interdisciplinary course focuses on assessing, analyzing & acting upon visual information. Taught online and at various DC locations (on 5 Saturdays), students sharpen visual perception, intelligence gathering and communication skills. Assignments include weekly reflections, online assessments, a midterm and final project.
