Host A Media Internship

The signature approach to studying media and communication at UC Santa Barbara is a strong grounding in the liberal arts and sciences. Our students learn how to make sense of the past, come to terms with the present, and shape the future. Media interns bring enthusiasm, curiosity, and strong analytic skills to their host organizations. Interns work 8-10 hours per week on mutually beneficial projects defined in collaboration with their supervisors.  More >
