Disney Sports Graduate Internship Program
In the spirit of added value to the membership of the National Consortium for Academics and Sports, the NCAS is proud to announce a new partnership with Disney Sports Attractions, Inc. ESPN’s Wide World of Sports® (EWWS) has approached the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) because of our prestigious list of member schools and potential applicant pool for the Disney Sports Graduate Internship Program. In 1996, the Disney Sports Graduate Internship Program was established to provide an inclusive environment for graduate students, centered on a variety of business practices in operating a sports complex. The 12-month internship is designed to supplement the student’s classroom studies and provide practical learning and experience.
Recruitment for the coveted 30-35 spots is underway. The internships will begin in Summer 2010 and will run for 12 months. Select programs are available in January with recruitment starting in October.
