Learning by Doing

Media Fellows participate in semester-long internships throughout the world during their junior year at DePauw University. This internship is set up by the student, in conjunction with the program director, and involves work in some facet of the media. Often, DePauw and Media Fellows alumni come forward to offer internship opportunities to current students. Here is just a short sampling of recent internship locations:

An internship doesn’t always lead to a job at the company or organization where the student interned, but because of the valuable experience gained, internships frequently kickstart a career.
