Independent Study & Internship

Special Note

As of Fall 2020, the capstone requirement for Baruch College Graphic Communication Majors will change. Rather than ART 5000, Independent Study, or ART 5010/5011, Internship in Graphic Communication, students will instead be required to take ART 5900: Senior Seminar, a new 3-credit, 4-hour class with an enrollment limit of 24.

ART 5000, Independent Study and ART 5010/5011, Internship in Graphic Communication will continue to be elective courses in the major. In other words, we encourage you to pursue Internships and Independent Studies; but we no longer require them.

If you are interested in pursuing ART 5000, Independent Study, or ART 5010, Internship in Graphic Communication, please contact a full-time faculty member who can advise you on the proper course of action. Be aware that both ART 5000 and ART 5010 require a sometimes lengthy registration process, so you should contact the professor at the middle of the term preceding the one in which you plan to pursue ART 5000 or 5010 to get the process underway. Last-minute requests will not be accommodated.

A final note: Independent Study and Internship are offered in Fall and Spring semesters ONLY.
