Media Internship Program

The Carsey-Wolf Center’s Media Internship Program offers a highly selective competition to identify both undergraduate and graduate UCSB students who want to develop practical applications of the knowledge they have gained in their studies. Our interns come from any discipline at UCSB that stresses creative and critical thinking, media literacy and policy, collaboration and coordination, organization and integration, the craft of writing, or the art of storytelling.

By broadening the internship program to students throughout the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences, the Media Internship Program expands the pool of highly qualified interns from UCSB, gives more students the chance for experiential learning in the industry, and further identifies the UCSB intern as the finest available.

Our interns have achieved a reputation as enthusiastic workers who bring strong communication and critical thinking skills to any task they are assigned. Our students have found placements in every aspect of the entertainment field: promotion, exhibition, distribution, and production. The companies where our students intern range from small independents to major production companies, including the following:

Avenue Pictures • BermanBraun
Chicago Pacific Entertainment • Double Feature Films
Fox 2000 • Jeff Nathanson • Mandeville Films

Montecito Picture Company • Santa Barbara International Film Festival
Sidney Kimmel Entertainment • Spyglass Entertainment
