Walt Disney Internships

Our students have the opportunity to intern with the Walt Disney Company through two internship programs.

Students in any major can choose to intern and work at a Disney park through the Disney College Program. Internship opportunities for specific majors also exist through the Disney Professional Internships where students can work for Walt Disney and their subsidiaries.
