Internships are a valuable part of the learning experience in the Communication and Experience Design programs at Miami University. The experience of working with design practitioners provides learners with knowledge, thinking, and skills that can’t be perfectly simulated on campus. Each internship and the professionals who provide them are different… which leads to a unique learning experience and environment that can shape early-career designer careers in profound ways.
