Communication Internships

Overview

The communication internship allows students to develop and apply their knowledge and skills in real life settings. Students work under the direct supervision of a business or industry professional, undertake real projects, gain invaluable insight into their chosen career fields, and network with professionals within the field.

Students with 99 or more semester credits and at least a 3.25 GPA in communication courses may apply to participate in an internship related to their coursework for up to 6 credits. To learn more, contact Professor Carol Shehadeh, Chair of the Undergraduate Program in Communication.
