Hire an Intern

Brandcenter students often intern with agencies/companies during the summer between their first and second years of the program. Our students are trained in a real-world setting to collaborate and problem-solve across disciplines. By the end of their first year, they are driven and ready to prove themselves in summer internships.

What to know when hiring Brandcenter students for internships

Helpful information and things to consider in hiring a Brandcenter student for internships:

  • Our students specialize in one of five concentrations: Art Direction, Copywriting, Creative Brand Management, Experience Design, and Strategy. You can request an intern from whichever concentration matches your needs.
  • Timing: Brandcenter interns are available from May to August for an 8- to 10-week period. It’s up to you and your intern(s) to set exact internship dates.
  • Compensation: Brandcenter interns are typically paid upwards of $20 an hour to help cover living and travel expenses. This is subject to market, role, and level of experience. Additional support may be helpful if they have to relocate for the role.
  • Housing: Students are responsible for their housing. Giving them suggestions on where to look would be great.
