A practicum bridges the gap between education and industry and affords students the opportunity to explore career options through research and informational interviews. Students will gain industry experience through a mentorship placement in a professional environment. These opportunities can include working with a freelancer, working in in-house corporate environments or working in advertising, marketing and interactive agencies. Upon completion, students will deliver a final presentation to report on their work experience.
