I’m most likely going to Fordham and will be in the Gabelli school of business majoring in Marketing. When on tour it seemed like most students in the business school are doing internships with large finance firms in NYC, which isn’t really what I’m interested in. I would love to intern at NBC, or any other news network/talk show, because I want to go into the television/media or the news business after graduation.
Are these opportunities available for students in Gabelli?
@jjohnross Hi there, I’m a senior in gabelli and yes there are internships for marketing majors as well as those in your desired field. I’d say it’s less competitive to get those type of internships. However, you have to do a lot of research, Fordham does have a lot of great contacts in those arenas.
So sorry I didn’t see this earlier. My daughter is a senior in Gabelli, with a concentration in marketing and secondary concentration in communications/media. She has had internships in marketing, a well as at Sirius XM radio and RCA records. The potential for these internships was one of the main reasons she chose Fordham, and they have been great opportunities.
@foriobound is she at LC or RH? The LC program is so small I’m concerned about admission.
She is at RH. She arranged her class schedule so that she had time during the week to spend at least 2 1/2 days at Sirius XM studios in midtown. She took the MetroNorth train in - the station is right outside campus, and she found it very convenient.
