Want to gain a competitive edge in your future career? Internships can help you develop valuable job skills, gain practical work experience, and explore potential career paths—all while learning in a real-world environment.
All cinema studies majors are strongly encouraged to complete at least one internship during their time as a student. Internships may be taken for up to 12 credits total. Only four of these credits may count toward the cinema studies major as general electives. Internship hours may not be awarded for work done previously.
University of Oregon students and alumni searching for a job or internship are encouraged to utilize the Cinema Studies Job and Internship Database. New jobs and internships are posted to the database weekly. For additional questions on finding internships, please email Instructor Alissa Phillips.
The Cinema Studies internship class, CINE 404: Internship, allows majors to earn academic credit while gaining experiential learning experience.
