Graphic Design student, Brian Gartside interned at Pentagram, the world's largest independent design consultancy.
VCUarts students are not only passionate about their art, but also ambitious in their career search. They fine tune their skills and gain on-the-job experience through their internship opportunities. Some work for large companies while others prefer the comfortable atmosphere of a casual mentorship. Internships are not required of all majors, but students have gained significant advantages from hands-on practice. This is a sample of impressive organizations with whom our students have interned.
If you are seeking a VCUarts intern please refer to the Connect section to contact a department.
