Kent State University Students

We encourage all NYC Studio Students to engage in Industry experience whether through volunteering or an internship.

There are two ways to participate in an internship while studying at the NYC Studio:

1. Internship for Credit: Enrollment in FDM 45192 - Fashion Merchandising or FDM 45292 - Fashion Design. Students must fulfill the necessary prerequisites in order to enroll in an internship for credit. This course is 100% online through the University's learning management system.
2. Industry Learning Experience: Please email FDM-internships@kent.edu for information. 

FDM 45192 - Fashion Merchandising and FDM 45292 - Fashion Design are in addition to the required NYC Studio based coursework. Taking an internship for credit does not count toward the 12 credit hours you are required to take at the studio.

Once enrolled in the NYC Studio program, all students will receive current internship opportunities from our office. Students must complete a total of 230 hours of supervised work per semester during enrollment. Because Fashion Design and Merchandising Internships may vary, please email FDM-internships@kent.edu for information.
