The Center also offers an arts
internship program called Columbia Arts
Experience. Selected students participate
in a New York–based internship in
the arts at organizations such as the
Sundance Channel, Lincoln Center Film,
Alliance for the Arts, and others.
The Center for Career Education also
fosters entrepreneurship through Columbia
Student Enterprises (CSE). The Columbia
Student Enterprises program is a unique
opportunity to learn about and develop
valuable entrepreneurship and enterprise
leadership skills through managing and
working for student-run enterprises. The
program consists of student-managed
businesses such as the Columbia
Bartending Agency and School of
Mixology, Inside NY, CU Snacks, and
the Columbia University Tutoring and
Translation Agency. The participants of
the program receive training and develop
transferable business skills applicable
to all industries. The program also promotes
student initiatives in business and
increases services on campus, enhancing
the quality of student life and creating
job opportunities for Columbia University
students.
