Something that has always set LIM apart from other schools is that our students are required to complete internships as part of their academic program.
Internships give you the opportunity to apply what you've learned in class, add workplace experience to your resume, and make connections to launch your career.
Every undergraduate takes a series of Experiential Career Education and Internship courses. Each level has a classroom component and an internship component.
Classroom components are focused on developing job search skills, networking, self-exploration, and professional development. Plus, events such as "Pitch Night" allow you to receive direct feedback from industry professionals.
Learn by Doing
From luxury brands to retail giants; PR and marketing firms to publishers; entertainment conglomerates to savvy startups—our students gain workplace experience at industry-leading companies.
