Internships: Manhattanville’s location enables students to take advantage of the considerable resources of Westchester county and New York City to obtain internships with non- and for-profit companies, newspapers, radio stations, advertising and public relations firms, television and other media production companies, and more. Students with sufficient Communication and Media backgrounds have interned with TV and radio programs, leading PR and publishing firms, and independent filmmakers. Communication and Media internships can be done during summers or the regular school year and are taken for non-liberal arts credit. They cannot replace courses for the major or minor.
