Previous Professional Intern(ers)

Hiya!

So I'm trying to figure out what the major that I'm interested in will get me too. I looked at a few of the professional internships and was wondering if anyone who had done an internship with the Business/Planning or Public Relations/communications parts of Disney could tell me what they think would be help to know. I'm interested in getting a bachelors in International Studies with specialization in cultural economics. I would like to get an MBA as well. But do you think that this major would work with the internships? or could help with getting it?

I know this is a bit off subject but I figured because I want to work for disney in the long run and this is about college that maybe someone could give me some insight

Thanks!

I haven't done a PI, but I can give you some suggestions for PR/Communications based on the interviews I've had for those positions so far.

For PR, you have to have some kind of Communications background, for the most part. I'm an English major, with a Communications minor, and was NLIC for some PR-type ones almost immediately because they only had very specific majors they wanted applying.

For Communications, you need to have a lot of writing/editing and/or graphic design in your background. They'll focus on those two areas quite a bit.
