Graduate and Undergraduate Students: Internships At ICT

The Institute for Creative Technologies offers paid 12-week summer internships for undergraduate and graduate students. Summer interns work on a variety of projects, receive a competitive salary, and may qualify for an additional travel and housing allowance if they come from outside Los Angeles. The deadline for student applications, including one letter of reference, is February 19.

Due to the way the selection process works at ICT, it is advantageous for an applicant to list 3 projects on their application form even if they are only interested in (or feel qualified for) one project. Here are the relevant links:
