Exclusive Opportunities
Gain experience and explore the world
We believe that gaining hands-on, real-world experience in marketing communications is a valuable way to put what you're learning in the classroom into context. Furthermore, it allows you to have experiences you can draw on in future job interviews and in your career.
We also believe in the power of learning about IMC in new contexts and have programs that allow you to travel and study IMC in other places. These programs give you a view of IMC through the lens of new cultures, helping you to better understand consumers and different marketplaces.
Medill's priority is always the health and safety of our students so we may make adjustments to planned travel based on guidance from Northwestern's Office of Global Safety and Security.
You will have opportunities to:
- Meet top marketing communications professionals
