Student Opportunities

Gain real-world experience and add skills to your résumé.

At the College, you'll learn by doing. In fact, 95% of the student body takes part in at least one experiential learning opportunity while they're in college. 

In the Arts Management Program, you'll have opportunities for high-impact learning experiences through your coursework, student clubs and organizations, internships, volunteering and study abroad.

Current students should visit The Hub for details.

Supervisors should see the Employers section of this page, below. 

Learn by doing

When you gain real-world experience, you have something tangible to talk about in a job interview. The Arts Management Program is dedicated to helping you find the learning opportunities to fit your interest.
  • Internships

    Internships are a great opportunity to gain valuable real-world experience and start building your professional network. Current students should visit The Hub for postings and other information like requirements for credit, enrollment instructions, and a detailed FAQ.  

    Employers, please review the supervisor internship guide and internship posting form.

  • Study Abroad

    Enrich your college experience and gain a global perspective when you study abroad! The Center for International Education offers several opportunities throughout the year.  

    Explore scholarship opportunities on the Center for International Education website and the School of the Arts website.

  • Volunteer

    When you volunteer in the arts community, you get to give back while you build professional skills and, most importantly, have fun!  

    In the past, our students have volunteered with organizations like:

    • Engaging Creative Minds.
    • Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art.  
    • Charleston Jazz.  
    • Gibbes Museum of Art.

    Current students should check their email for new volunteer opportunities.

1770 Records

1770 Records is our student-run record label. To participate, you'll need to enroll in the 1-credit hour course, which is repeatable throughout your time at the College, allowing students to stay involved with the label through the duration of their program of study. 

The goal of 1770 Records is to bridge the gap between Charleston’s burgeoning music scene and the College by creating opportunities for local artists to share their music and for students to gain hands-on music industry experience in the process. Made up of passionate students from across disciplines, the label, its events, and its partnerships create a hub for music networking and collaboration. 

Visit 1770 Records or contact Heather McDonald for more information. 

The privilege of having such a phenomenal program coupled with the College's location in a city immersed in the arts creates unique opportunities to directly engage with our local arts community.
