New York City

Collaborating with Sewanee and Rhodes, Centre sends students in the fall to New York City, where they complete Internships and take courses that focus on New York Theater and New York and Its Peoples, Past and Present. The City of New York (usually referred to as New York City (NYC) or simply New York (NY)) is the most populous city in the United States. Our students will have a great opportunity to be a part of this cosmopolitan city while interning and studying, and enjoying all that New York has to offer.

The internship is a significant part of the experience. Internship opportunities exist in the areas of Finance, Fashion, Broadcasting, Theater, Public Relations, and Marketing, working with firms, museums and other cultural sites, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or International organizations such as the United Nations.

Courses

New York Theater Experience: The building of a culture and a career. This class will highlight the personal, cultural, and professional value of theater through attending eight live performances at a variety of venues: including Broadway, the center of the global commercial theater world, New York’s Public Theater, the non- profit home where many great artists and new plays have been developed and nurtured, as well as others.

New York and Its Peoples, Past and Present: In this course, students will explore the past and present of the city in light of its migrants (primarily African American and Puerto Rican U.S. citizens) and immigrants from Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia. We’ll study how migrants and immigrants change New York City, how New York City changes them, and the enduring significance of ethnic diversity in the city’s politics and culture. A significant aspect of the course will be fieldtrips and walking tours to diverse neighborhoods, museums, and other cultural visits.

Students will have the opportunity to do a full-time Internship.
