Internship Program

Ready to step out into the marketplace? Every year, Columbia interns throughout Chicago get a piece of the action and experience first-hand what it's like to work in their chosen field.

You'll be prepared for your internship by Columbia's hands-on educational approach - and you'll actually get to use your skills on the job. That's because Columbia interns don't spend their time making coffee or taking messages; they often start making real contributions to the business on their very first day.

They get involved in purchasing. They meet with news editors. They learn real-life management skills. And they make connections at places like Arthur Andersen, Marshall Field and Co., Chicago Public Schools, and Ravinia Festival, and more.
