  • Internships offer invaluable opportunities to exercise your talents and gain industry-ready skills and experience, all while exploring the world of work. With the help of our Career Services staff, you can secure positions that are tailored to your educational goals and aimed at future employment. 

  • At Parsons, we learn by doing, and in an internship, you do just that in temporary positions that introduce you to a range of jobs and settings. Some internships earn you credit or pay, but all expose you to industry best practices and enhance your professional experience and network. And, because New York City boasts the country’s greatest number of creative jobs, you can choose from nonprofits and firms representing the full spectrum of creative employment. Recent placements include Nike, HBO, and the International Rescue Committee.

    • If you are an undergraduate, make an appointment to meet with your Success Advisor (academic and career advisor) via Starfish to identify and register for internships. (You can email [email protected] for other kinds of career-related appointments.)
    • If you’re a graduate student, email [email protected]. The university’s Career Development and Experience staff are also on hand to help and offer relevant resources. 

    Visit the university internships page to find answers to frequently asked questions about registering your internship for credit, grading, and requirements. 

    • Interning at nonprofits and major fashion companies, I discovered there are a million jobs even within one industry, so it’s important to be versatile and look for opportunity.

    • In my internship at Eileen Fisher, I got a good overview of fashion production cycles but also how office culture works. It was a great complement to my creative work on campus.
