Nashville Interns: Review Music Business partners by linking to the database through this site. If you want to intern with a company that is not in the database, they must be approved first. Have them fill out the application at www.ineedinterns.com. Internship companies not already approved by MTSU will need to be contacted by the internship coordinator before actual internship can be secured.  

Out-of-town interns: Make an appointment with internship coordinator to discuss your options. Be sure to begin your search process several weeks, or even months, before pursuing an out-of-town internship. Plan on having an interview in the city before your internship is confirmed. Few companies in NY or LA accept interns over the phone.”   At the beginning:     Select one or two top prospects for your internship and call the intern contact at  the company to set up an interview. (If the internship contact has changed,  please let the internship coordinator know.)     After you have been offered an internship and have accepted it, fill out the  Confirmation of Internship form and have your supervisor at the company sign  it. After it is signed, fax it to 615.527.0274.
