California State University, Northridge Ranking 2024 from QS, THE & US NEWS

Internship:

They do have opportunities but it’s hard to find out about them. I’ve never had one so I’m not sure how to go about it. Some of my friends work in student leadership which isn’t hard to get involved with, but you can only work limited hours (I believe ten a week) and it seems to be a LOT of work.

This was the closest state school to me which made it appealing because I could save money and also attend a decent school. They had the major I wanted which made sense to me. I also liked the idea of a big school but a small program. The school has 40,000 people but my program I see the same faces in most classes.

Placement:

There are many on-campus job opportunities. I worked three separate jobs during my time as a graduate student. It was beneficial because it worked around my class schedules and didn't take away time from my studies.

It was one of the top master's program in California for psychology. Also, the program was one of the few that had advanced statistical analysis classes such as multivariate statistics and structural equation modelling. I also had a working relationship with faculty members in the program. The school was also near home.

Placement:

Placements and job opportunities are usually through luck since the film/television industry is very competitive and many find jobs due to current/previous internships. My university, however, has a career center where you can apply for jobs that are within the film/tv industry.

Internship:

Yes, they do offer internships. Paid or unpaid internships that are relevant to film students. Many of them aren't paid with a stipend at the end of the internship. However, I hadn't applied to an internship yet due to working two jobs outside of my classes.

Placement:

There are various placements from any field such as medical, mental health, probation, school and more. This, in turn, allows students to narrow in on where they wish to pursue and during the last year students talk to potential agencies with the goal that if they do well enough there are open availability for them post-graduation.

Internship:

Yes, we have an internship each year. We work a required amount of hours to meet the minimum in order to qualify to get certified at the end of graduation. My experience has been great because I am allowed to work in fields that I have wanted to gain experience in or have never had experience in. I receive a holistic training by being in different fields as well as having supervision that allows for growth.
