This Fall marks the beginning of several changes we’re making to the CMIE Guided Internship program at NEC.

One of the most exciting developments is that Guided Internships are now being formally recognized by the Conservatory’s Registrar; this means that students who successfully complete internships will get those internships listed on their academic transcript. To register for a guided internship, students should meet with me prior to their academic advising appointment and present a Guided Internship Proposal. Upon acceptance and review of the Guided Internship Proposal, Larry Scripp and I will sign a Special Enrollment Permission Form that the Registrar uses. Registering an internship with the CMIE Office and the Registrar guarantees some very important things:

1. Your internship meets CMIE program guidelines;
2. You promise to complete your Guided Internship within the semester of registration;
3. Your internship will count towards the CMIE Concentration;
4. You will receive credit for your internship on your academic transcript

IMPORTANT: These guarantees only apply if you register for your internship in advance of doing it. From this point forward, you can no longer tell us about your internship “after the fact” and expect to receive credit for it. Also, all internships MUST be registered for by the completion of ADD/DROP period; we cannot honor requests or proposals past the Conservatory’s ADD/DROP period for the semester that the internship work is planned for.

Other exciting guided internships await in new partnerships we are forming with our community partners. Through a new relationship with the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, we are able to offer MIE students opportunities to work with Boston’s Asian immigrant population. If you are interested in teaching workshops or classes that align music learning with American cultural studies and/or English Language Learning, or you would like to teach vocal music, come by the CMIE Program Office and speak with Randy Wong.
