Students with a range of academic and career interests recently interned at firms, organizations, and institutions such as the Metropolitan Opera, Miramax, Empire State Development Corporation, New York Lawyers in the Public Interest, ABC News, Merrill Lynch, Council on Foreign Relations and National Geographic. Those are only a few of more than 150 internships on a growing list of sponsors.

Students spend four days a week as interns in a firm or organization for one credit. They attend weekly seminars one morning and evening for two credits and complete an independent project for one credit. Typically either the independent project or a seminar or both may receive concentration credit in the discipline or program of the director. Special arrangements for receiving concentration credit may be possible between the NYC Program and the department or program of a student's concentration.
