Join a group of 12 Grady students to participate in eight-week internships in New York City while you learn about the many possibilities for your future in NYC!
The AdPR NYC: Experience and Exploration program combines coursework and experiential learning for students exploring careers in the one of the world’s leading cultural, financial and media centers.
AdPR NYC students will be enrolled in an advertising and public relations special topics class while working full-time in internships for course credit to augment their studies with real-world experiences, mentoring and networking opportunities with communications professionals in the New York market. This summer program will admit 12 students for a six credit hour program (combining a full-time internship and a three credit hour online course) for an eight-week program in the summer through session.
For summer 2023, students will arrive in NYC on Sunday, June 4 and depart NYC on Saturday July 29, 2023. Internships should begin Monday, June 5 and run through Friday, July 28. There will also be enrichment activities and meet and greets with guest practitioners on some evenings and/or on weekends during the program.
The coursework will convey to students the tactical skills essential to make them effective communications practitioners in these markets and to develop an understanding of the importance of planning.
