Radio Internships

Radio station internships have evolved over the years, to the point that interns actually become part of the team at a station. We consistently secure internships in every aspect of the radio/media industry.

Our motto is quite simple: You give us your full effort and we will provide you the resources to succeed in this industry. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and responsibility, and at Columbia we have the necessary assets to put you on that path.

Simply put, internships allow a student to gain much needed experience in the Radio industry while developing networking opportunities that could last a lifetime.

Having the encouragement and respect from the industry allows us to continue to flourish and gain key opportunities for our students. Here are a few quotes from satisfied stations!
