EPICS facilitates connections between employers and our highly motivated students, providing opportunities for internships and full-time roles in arts, communication, healthcare and creative industries.

EPICS supports all SoC undergraduate programs, which span a wide range of majors from RTVF (Radio/Television/Film) to Communication Studies, from Theatre to Human Communication Sciences.   

EPICS also supports graduate students in five master’s programs: MA in Sound Arts and Industries, MFA in Documentary Media, MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage, MS in Communication, and MS in Leadership for Creative Enterprises.  

Here are just a few ways we help employers connect with Northwestern School of Communication (SoC) students:

• Post an internship or job in Handshake.
• Connect with students.
  We offer several ways for your organization to connect with our students including:
  • • Industry Connect nights (networking).
    • EPICS Masterclasses (session led by an expert in the field).
    • Site visits to your organization.
    • Reserve space in Handshake for company information sessions. 
• Career Fair registration + connecting with students across Northwestern.
