Semester in Hollywood Program: LA Internship and Seminar

24 units · Undergraduate

Spring: 24 units The internship is the experiential "core" of the Semester in Los Angeles Program. Students intern four days per week, for approximately 24-25 hours, at studios, networks or streamers, for directors, writers or producers, or in talent agencies or management companies. Through the internship, students gain professional experience and make long-lasting professional and personal contacts. In addition, students meet once a week with the program director for a 90-minute seminar to report and reflect on their internship experiences, and address pressing current issues from the perspective of their internship organization. In addition, the weekly seminar typically includes CMU alumni based in Los Angeles. Their personal and professional experiences become part of the seminar conversation, and they make themselves available to students as ongoing sources of information and advice.
