Calling All MCA Ad/PR Majors:

Students are encouraged to apply for the 2015 MAIP Summer Fellows Program.  For the past two years, CCNY has had a great record of MAIP scholars: 10 in 2013 and 9 in 2014 (including two BIC students).

The 4A's Multi-Cultural Advertising Internship Program is a highly competitive 10-week summer internship program that selects from a talented pool of graduate and undergraduate applicants from across the country.  More than 85% of finalists will be placed in major advertising agencies and become part of the MAIP alumni network which has helped jumpstart the careers of more than 2,400 aspiring advertising professionals since 1973.  MAIP winners are announced in mid-March.

Once a student has been screened and accepted by the 4A's, semi-finalists are then interviewed by agency recruiters who then vote on finalists.  Let's keep the great CCNY record going!

DEADLINE; OCT 15, 2014.  Students are encouraged to seek advice / mentoring from professors, who are here to help.  Info is below; best of luck with your entry!
