Internships are available to college students who have completed at least one year of school and are for school credit.

Times Square. “However, if the idea of earning college credit in the world’s best tourism market while being surrounded by shrunken heads, a lock of Elvis’s hair, and 500 other amazing artifacts, look no further.”
