This is the Stuckeman School's premier career services event for architecture, graphic design, and landscape architecture students to meet with representatives from professional design and engineering firms to discuss internship and employment opportunities.

Internship Experiences

Gaining invaluable experience

Stuckeman School students are encouraged to take multiple internships in the design industry during their undergraduate studies. These experiences offer students the opportunity to gain and sharpen their professional skills under the critical eyes of practitioners, to relate their classroom knowledge to their chosen professions, and to explore their career interests.

Students are encouraged to discuss these opportunities, which are often times available for academic credit, with the Stuckeman School career adviser or their assigned academic adviser.
