What some past interns have said about interning at Bass/Schuler

"Bass/Schuler Entertainment is a great place to develop new skills and begin your career in the entertainment industry." - Meredith Carreira, Spring '04

"The time I spent at Bass/Schuler taught me so much about what goes on at a busy agency. I feel like I really got to know the agents, artists, and our customers. I also learned what takes place from the first phone call to the actual performance. I now have a greater appreciation of what a tough job the artists and agents really have." - Jennifer Hall, Summer '02
