Why consider an internship

An internship is a powerful way to get industry experience – and may turn into a full-time position after graduation.

We host job fairs and networking events throughout the school year to help students find internships and meet industry titans. To learn about upcoming events, reach out to a professor, the Kuhlin Hub or a leader in your student organization.

Education abroad

Studying abroad is one of the best ways for marketing students to stand out in a competitive field and make your resume shine. Experiencing global markets firsthand helps you understand consumer behavior, branding and communication across cultures – skills every successful marketer needs.

Plus, you’ll grow personally as you navigate new environments and cultures.
