Graphic Design - Bachelor of Fine Arts Internships

Graphic Design internships are strongly recommended for all graphic design students.

Internships

  • provide a professional experiential learning environment beyond the classroom.
  • enhance students’ skills, professionalism, networking, and ethics centered around equity.
  • prepare graduates for transition from student to practicing professional.
  • bridge the gap between the classroom and the business of graphic design, helping students understand applied design through client-based projects.
  • drive students to reach beyond their comfort zone and broaden their skills and experiences.
  • help students seek successful employment after graduation within the design industry with employers seeking to hire designers with professional experience.

Internships are available to upper-level graphic design majors who are currently enrolled in or have completed Typography. Students can intern at Illinois State University or with community partners in Bloomington-Normal. Students interested in internship credit must contact Professor of Graphic Design Archana Shekara at ashekar@IllinoisState.edu.
