Senior Internship & Exhibition

At ACE, students’ four years of study culminates with a year-long Senior Internship/Project experience.

During the first semester, students explore and articulate their career goals, profile an individual working in the industry they are exploring, and research and write an investigation into one aspect of their career of choice

In the second semester, students intern at a career-related placement or develop a senior project for at least ninety hours and prepare and deliver an internship/project-related presentation using computer technology to a panel of judges.

Throughout the year, students must demonstrate proficiency in research, writing, presentation skills, and use of technology.
