You can earn up to 12 credits of Comm 459 while gaining internship experience. For more information about this course see Comm 459 Internship. You can also pick up an internship packet from the Communication Department Manager in CH 103. The department maintains a file of internship opportunities, as does the Career Services Center in OM280. You may also locate internship opportunities on your own, through personal research or contacts with the organization.
All internships require departmental approval.
After you have located and been approved by both the Communication Internship Director and the organization offering the internship, you and your on-site supervisor should fill out the paperwork provided by the Comm Department Manager. When you have completed the forms, have the Departmental internship director sign them, make copies for yourself, the on-site supervisor, and two copies for the Comm Department. Return the departmental copies to the manager in CH 103, and she will give you an override code you may use to register. For example, if you re graduating at the end of Spring Quarter, you ll need to apply for graduation during Fall Quarter. Plan to do your major evaluation as early as possible during the quarter, well in advance of registration.
