Aside from being the pioneer IMC program in America, the Medill IMC program has one other unique draw. Many students choose the IMC program over other marketing programs for this very reason... the Residency Program.
This is no internship program - we won't be getting coffee and stuffing files. Companies hosting residents must apply to Medill with a specific marketing problem or project that they need to solve. All students apply and interview for residencies, and companies must be approved through the Medill faculty.
This year, a new type of residency has been announced as an option for the IMC 2008 class. Here are our options!
NEW RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY -- ABROAD!!!
Students in groups of about 10 will first complete at class in Global Marketing at Northwestern. They will then be sent to select companies abroad (such as Yum Brands in Singapore) to work as a team on a designated project. They will spend an estimated 2-3 weeks working and becoming immersed in the foreign work culture. They will then return back to Evanston to complete the project, and will eventually present it to top executives at their designated company.
TRADITIONAL INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCY --
As in prior years, those who choose not to partake in the residency program abroad will have the traditional, yet just as exciting, residency experience at a company in the US. These residencies are done individually for 11 weeks. Students may be sent all over the country to some of the best companies in the nation.
Former IMC students have completed their individual residences at some of the following companies:
