As students pursue an academic program in their chosen discipline, practical experience is an invaluable part of their education. An internship also adds to a student's resume and portfolio. Internships may be paid or unpaid. Students who wish to receive academic credit for the internships must seek approval and meet the requirements from the academic program in which they are in. There is no guarantee that students who are seeking internships will be hired.
Internships are widely available.
There are at least five different opportunities listed in the School of Communication internship binders for every student looking. Regularly stop by Merrick 120-A to find out about new job opportunities and internships. Also, take advantage of the Career Library. Learn about market trends and who are the leaders in your industry. Attend Career Fairs.
