About Program
Dynamy Internship Year offers full-year, semester (fall/spring) and summer placements.
When taking a semester at Dynamy, you may choose to enroll in the fall or spring option. Both of these options offer 1 internship cycle. Students begin their semester with a 10-day Adventure Challenge followed by orientation and their internship cycle. During their internships, students engage in the "real working world" to establish professional relationships, time management, and further develop their interests. Aside from their internships, students practice independent living skills, weekly advising and money management. Given that our semester is a shorter period of time, it is ideal for students who have other commitments that interfere with a long-term placement. We do allow students to re-apply for the following semester should they desire to complete a full year at Dynamy.
