Southern Illinois University Carbondale's College of Mass Communication and Media Arts Chicago Studies Program allows students to gain hands-on experience while earning academic credit by doing internships in media industries in Chicago. Launched in 1998 with the help of our alumni and friends, Chicago Studies was the second of MCMA's Studies Programs.

Where might I intern?
