The Recording Industry internship program is designed to provide practical
experience for advanced students in a professional recording industry
setting. An internship should further develop student competencies in
business related areas of the industry while providing practical
application of theories, techniques, and concepts discussed in other
courses.
Additional goals of the internship
program are to further develop a sense of professionalism, reasoning
ability, critical thinking, resourcefulness, and self-reliance. Students
should also establish contacts within the industry that may lead to entry
