PASSAGE 欲漫涩 Internships

Part of the PASSAGE 欲漫涩 curriculum involves the development of work skills. During the first two semesters, we place our students in on-campus internships, while for the remaining semesters we place our students in off-campus internships and/or jobs. Between the practical experience of working and more traditional classroom instruction, PASSAGE 欲漫涩 students improve their employability skills as well as earn a paycheck.
