<p>if you want to do as many internships as is possible (i know it depends on what and where) but generally speaking how many are possible throughout the four years</p>
<p>are there really that many opportunities for nyc students and nyu students?</p>
<p>are there alot of film entertainment ones?</p>
<p>anything else that may be pertinent to this thread?</p>
<p>Depends how long each lasts to answer your 'how many question'. You can get all kinds of jobs, there are literally tens of thousands of businesses in NYC. NYU students get ALOT. </p>
<p>That should give you stats about NYU full time job placement. It has a section about internships with percentages and what not.
NYU dorms are actually filled in the summer with students as well as people working for the summer. I have a job right now and I have a few interviews coming up and I had a few already. I saw all kinds of jobs posted at nyu..Accounting internships at an independent film company etc etc.. I don't know about film entertainment ones. Also as an aside, jobs/internships (in my opinion) in the film/entertainment industry might be hard to obtain through NYU. Even if you could, you still need alot of your own persistence, research, calling, emailing, sending out your resume to land a good one. That goes for any job. And be prepared to be let down a few times. Two jobs that I thought i had with a 70% confidence (and really wanted) i ended up not getting. So you'll face the occasional rejection.</p>
<p>why might they be hard to obtain through NYU? also i meant entertainment internships...like maybe at a talent agency or entertainment law firm......or stuff like that</p>
<p>It is not difficult to obtain film/entertainment internships at NYU. Both of my kids attend(ed) - one graduated already from Tisch, and both have/had many internships, and they have been extremely rewarding - it's also a great way to make contacts and network in the industry, and can also possibly lead to future employment. I know that both Tisch and Steinhardt have an extensive list of industry internships for the students to pursue.</p>
<p>what about if i will be at the college of arts and sciences with a only a minor at Tisch..do you think i'll still be able to get entertainment internships (i want to be an entertainment lawyer or talent agent)?</p>
<p>Can you minor at Tisch if you're in CAS? My kids have/are doing the opposite - one was in Film & TV with a minor in Philosophy, and the other one is in Cinema Studies with possibly a minor in French and Dramatic Lit. Are you thinking of taking classes in producing (minor), because I know that there is a relationship between Stern and Tisch. CAS should have a list of internships that are available for their students. I know students who were in CAS who were in internships in the entertainment field - both my work of mouth and also by checking the internships listings. Your advisor should be able to guide you - it's helpful that you know what kinds of internships you're interested in pursuing, so you should be able to get something (or even more than one internship) in your field. My kids have had many internships, and they've all be very valuable.</p>
<p>sorry - I'm typing too fast and making typos "word of mouth" - "been very valuable".</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure you can minor in production while at CAS. that is what i was planning on doing. i just wanted to get some internships that would build me some solid connections</p>
<p>Tisch has the producing minor which also includes internship opportunities which would be good for networking. The courses are geared towards producing whereas production courseswhich are for Tisch Film & TV majors are more of a technical nature (Sight and Sound, etc.).</p>
<p>do you know how many electives i can take in addition to the required courses while taking the production minor from a non-tisch school
?</p>
<p>I found the link for the Tisch producing minor, and it looks like you take 9 points of elective courses - meaning about 2-4 courses depending on how many credits each course is worth. <a href="http://specialprograms.tisch.nyu.edu/object/PMListCourses.html%5B/url%5D">http://specialprograms.tisch.nyu.edu/object/PMListCourses.html</a> Remember, though it's producing, not technical production, although producing is part of production. Anyway, it sounds like a good plan.</p>
<p>well, i am not really that interested in becoming a director or any technical aspect within entertainment but i am interested in dealing with entertainment law and or talent representation as an agent and possibly some production in the future which is why i feel like knowing abotu scripts and various other aspects of production is absolutely crucial as an agent, lawyer and obviously a producer becuase it will aid greatly in finding roles and just understanding how movies are made and what a good script actually is. any other thoughts..you've been really helpful!</p>
<p>are production minors able to use career services and other things that tisch students can use? like would we be able to network like they would..or is it just a minor for classes and nothing else?</p>
<p>It sound like you're on the right track for what you want to do. Yes, you would be able to take advantage of career services and internships. My son has a friend who majored in Economics but took a minor in Producing and was able to take very worthwhile internships in the field. A component of the Producing minor involves taking an internship, so it's already set up to be part of the program. The Producing minor is for students who wish to just focus on a specific area, whereas with the Film & TV major, it's a fairly intense program which includes all the aspects of filmmaking, including producing. My S made several films while a student - right now, he is putting the finishing touches on his senior thesis project, so we'll be looking forward to seeing the film in the very near future.</p>
<p>so, for example..that job day or w/e tisch has where William Morris comes and the studios and other entertainment companies attend..I owuld be able to attend that?</p>
<p>Also, the student who took the Producing minor has since graduated and is now working for a film production company.</p>
<p>I don't see why not.</p>
<p>thank you a lot nyumom. you seem to know a good deal about nyu. is there anythign else you can tell me about nyu that would really make me want to go there (it already is at the very top of my list)</p>
<p>I think that what it boils down to is if the school is a good fit for the student, and in the case of my two kids, it just happened to work out for them. The kind of student that is attracted to NYU is one who is fairly independent (because, afterall, it is in NYC, which is not an environment for everyone), who doesn't mind or would enjoy living in a very busy big city and be able to take advantage of all that both NYU and the city offers in terms of culture, student activities (clubs and organizations), study abroad programs, internships, etc. My kids made sure that they took advantage of all of the above - including, of course, studying with wonderful professors who have become their mentors.</p>
<p>Also, the NYU campus is the entire city, even though there are many classroom buildings and several dorms that are set around or close to Washington Square park. If a student is looking for a school with more of a campus in terms of green lawns, rolling hills, etc., then they would be interested in a different environment.</p>
