Internships
Communication internships help students integrate their career objectives and educational preparation in the challenging and expanding fields of communication studies, journalism and advertising/public relations, which demand practical experience and diversified skills reaching beyond the classroom. Interns learn about organization practices while acquiring technical and process skills under the supervision of experienced communication professionals.
The School of Communication offers information on internship opportunities for its three majors: communication, advertising and public relations, and journalism. Students are encouraged to examine the internship opportunities for all three majors; internship opportunities from any of the disciplines may appeal to you.

Before a student accepts any internship to be taken for course credit, they must attend one of the internship orientation sessions offered by SOC each semester. Internships are a requirement for journalism* and adverting/public relations* majors and it is important that the student discuss the internship with their major's internship coordinator before accepting any position.
| Before students may enroll in and receive credit for the Communication internship course (All majors), they must: |
|---|
| Be of junior or senior standing; |
| Have completed at least 18 hours of communication courses, including two in the area of the internship; |
| Be in good academic standing; |
| Attend an internship orientation session the semester preceding the internship; |
| Complete application material by appropriate deadlines; and |
| Find a suitable internship*. |
At the orientation session students will receive a internship packet/workbook containing registration information, course requirements and assignments.
* Students taking internships to fulfill their requirements for the Advertising/PR and Journalism majors, must have the internship approved by their program's internship coordinators before they can accept the internship.
