The INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE, is credited by graduating students as instrumental in helping them land their first job in their chosen field.

Internships are an integral part of the AEMM major, bringing together theoretical concepts with real world situations. In cooperation with leading organizations in the Chicago area, qualified students have the opportunity to acquire hands-on field experience, confidence and contacts which help the student gain a leading edge in the competitive job market place. The student becomes more aware of what is involved in his chosen career by actually working in a professional organization. The student, faculty advisor and the sponsoring organization work together to make the internship one of the most important experience in the student’s college education.
