Internships
Internships required as part of JSoM curricula [Audio Engineering, Music Education] are coordinated within those Departments. At this time, the Jacobs School of Music does not have a general internship course number. JSoM students seeking academic credit for internship experience should pursue available internship course opportunities in the College of Arts and Sciences or O’Neill School for Public & Environmental Affairs [for Arts Administration].
