What is an internship, when should College of Communications students do an internship, and how much credit can they receive for it?
It is important for students to gain practical experience related to their program of study (which is often times referred to as an “internship”) whenever the opportunity presents itself (as early as the summer between their first and second years, or as late as their last semester of enrollment). Internships can be done as paid or unpaid experiences, depending on the rules of the site offering the internship. With the approval of the College’s internship coordinator, internships can also be done for credit. The College of Communications limits the total number of credits earned for internship experiences to 3 credits.
