Students majoring in Apparel, Retail Merchandising, and Design are required to complete an internship, usually during the summer between junior and senior years.  Often students work to find an experience working for retail firms in the Fargo/ Moorhead area.  Others find opportunities in the Minneapolis area or other larger cities such as Chicago.  New York City has also been an option for students who want to spend the summer in the city.  Click on the images below to take a closer look at the posters and to see some of the recent student experiences.  Hear from two students in the short videos.

Students design and create professional digital portfolios for the Professional Development course during their Junior year.  These portfolios are helpful in securing internships and careers upon graduation.  Click on thumbnails below to view student portfolios.
