Student Services

CAREER CENTER

From the first day of class, students begin to integrate into a network of industry leaders, FIDM Faculty, and influential FIDM Graduates. The Career Center works with FIDM Students and Graduates one-on-one to ensure a targeted and efficient career search.

The Career Center believes that what is learned in the FIDM classroom, combined with the experience gained from working alongside industry professionals, enhances career growth post-graduation. Career Center Coaches provide students and graduates with the best resources to help them hone the skills they have learned at FIDM and effectively apply them to the working world.

Some of those services include:

Internships

Internships are opportunities for students to combine academic training with employment in fields related to

their course of study. Students who are interested in gaining this type of "real life" experience should meet with a Career Coach. To qualify, students must maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average, have proof of medical insurance, and be in the second, third, or fourth year of a FIDM undergraduate degree. Students enrolled in Professional Designation, Bachelor's, and Master's degree programs are eligible to apply for internships after their first quarter. Internships must be secured and paperwork completed prior to the end of the quarter preceding the internship's start date (e.g., by the end of Winter quarter for an internship starting in Spring). To receive academic credit, students must confirm their plans with their department prior to applying and will be asked to complete specific coursework. International students may be eligible to complete internships, subject to federal/state regulation, if they qualify for FIDM's Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) program.

Industry Relations

Career Center Coaches and Staff constantly work to build and maintain relationships with employers to find quality industry jobs and internship leads within all the FIDM majors. Through on-campus recruitment, site visits, internships, job opportunities, and special projects, the Career Center stays in tune with the latest career trends. Job opportunities are posted daily on the Career Network. Students and Alumni have full access to job leads, internship leads, resume builder, and employer company history through Career Network.

HOUSING

The Housing Department is committed to assisting students with finding the residential plan that best suits their needs. FIDM does not own or operate any dormitory or apartment facilities. The FIDM Housing Department offers third-party apartment rentals through FIDM (FIDM Student Housing) as well as independent housing referrals. This popular option creates an exciting community of FIDM Students with FIDM Housing Staff on-site or easily accessible. Space is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. All apartments are two bedroom/two bathroom units. FIDM Housing options are within walking distance of the campus. The current quarterly cost for FIDM Housing consists of a one-time, non-refundable, initial placement fee of $350 along with one quarter of rent ($4,000* for a shared bedroom or $8,000* for a private bedroom). *Subject to change annually.

Independent Housing listings are available through the FIDM website and provide current students with apartment options. For accepted students, roommate and apartment listings are available via the FIDM Portal. All students are responsible for contacting apartment complexes and potential roommates directly, as FIDM Housing does not verify any listing. Independent referrals come from current FIDM Students, FIDM Alumni, students from other local colleges, and local residents that live in the area. Referral housing locatio
