There are two ways to participate in an internship while you are studying at the New York City Fashion program:

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 online through the University’s learning management system. 

FDM 45192 - Fashion Merchandising and FDM 45292 - Fashion Design are in addition to the required New York City based coursework. Taking an internship for credit does not count toward the 12 credit hours you are required to take through the New York City Fashion program.

Once enrolled in the New York City Fashion program, you will receive current internship  opportunities from the school.  You will need to complete a total of 230 hours of supervised work per semester during enrollment.
