Before registering for the summer media internship program, visiting summer students should consult their advisor about having these credits transfer back to their home institution.
You may request a registration form from the NYU Summer Programs web site.
You must submit your resume, a copy of all college transcitps, and complete payment with your completed registration form. Register for the appropriate number of credits accourding to how many hours per week you think you will be able to work. Most summer internships will require you to work between 25-30 hours per week. You may make changes to the number of credits you are registered for up until the day before the summer session starts without penalty:
Register for the appropriate number of credits according to how many hours per week you think you will be able to work:
| Credits | Hours per Week | Total Hours per Six-Week Session |
| 1 | 13 | 75 |
| 2 | 19 | 112 |
| 3 | 24 | 140 |
| 4 | 28 | 168-224 |
| 6 | 42 | 252-280 |
Upon advisor approval and registration in the course (H56.1037 Media Internship), students will begin researching companies they may be interested in working for. This is done on the internship course Blackboard site (only available to currently registered students) and though on-line research. This research needs to be completed during the months of March – May.
Students apply directly to the companies of their choice, schedule interviews on their own, and decide which internship they will use for academic credit.
Upon acceptance of an internship, students must complete the Agreement Packet (available for download on Blackboard) with their internship supervisor, which then needs to be returned to the Internship Coordinator in order to finalize the placement. Visiting summer students should have their internships arranged before the first day of the summer session they are attending.
