Students in the Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (MIAP) MA Program complete two semester-long internships and one full-time summer internship. Semester internships are based in New York accompanied by an internship seminar. For the summer internship, many students travel outside of New York City to work on collections in other parts of the country or abroad.
