The Preston Robert Tisch Center

CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Career development at the Tisch Center begins before students arrive for classes, with required summer industry readings for incoming fall freshmen, followed by a comprehensive orientation to New York University and the city. Undergraduates further identify and develop personal objectives, résumés, cover letters, interviewing skills and strategies, and career goals across a series of four required professional seminars, from freshman through senior year.

INTERNSHIPS
Internships are an essential element across Tisch Center degree programs, affording students an opportunity to build professional portfolios of experience, networking, and critical thinking. Undergraduates complete a total of 700 hours of industry internship in two experiences of learning, shadowing, working, and developing professionally. The Tisch Center’s allows flexibility in scheduling internships, which occur in the fall, spring, or summer. Some students elect to intern while enrolled full-time, mirroring the multi-tasking required both in business and in life. Students engage with faculty in concurrent internship coursework that compliments their practical field experience.

ADVISORS
Dedicated Tisch Center faculty advisors and career administrators, in tandem with NYU resources such as the Wasserman Center for Career Development and esteemed industry guest lecturers in courses, provide accessible and abundant opportunities for meaningful learning, networking, and career development. Additionally, the Tisch Center Alumni Society offers mentorship opportunities, connecting our current successes in industry with the bright leaders of tomorrow.
