At CDIA, we believe media can make a difference. That’s why we developed the Practicum program, an opportunity for students to partner with non-profit, socially-responsible organizations and create quality digital media to further the organizations’ missions.

Practicum gives students practical experience working on real-world projects for actual clients, complete with fixed time frame and well-defined deliverables. Under the direction of a faculty advisor, students work independently or in teams as they take a project from concept to completion. With its real-life production environment, Practicum delivers valuable career-building experience in managing assignments, schedules and client expectations. Through their participation in Practicum, students gain confidence, build networks and better understand the professional demands of their future careers.

We are constantly seeking to establish partnerships with non-profit organizations to create innovative projects and opportunities for collaboration. For more information, contact Urvi Modh, Practicum Manager.
