How can a student get job experience?
It is very important that all students get some professional experience before they graduate. There are several ways to do this: summer jobs, part-time jobs, freelancing, a full-time job through the Co-operative Education program, paid internships or a credit-granting internship through the Journalism Department. Majors are not required to complete an internship before they graduate, but they are urged to get some kind of professional experience. Students should consult with their advisers about which type or types of experience are best for them. Before students work at a professional news organization, many choose to work on-campus in the news departments of the Daily Campus newspaper, WHUS radio or UCTV.
