The Meteorological Internship course is NOT required for the certificate or degree. The BMP offers this course to help students who do NOT have a broadcasting background, but would like to obtain some broadcasting experience.
Internships can be a very valuable part of a student's training.
If you would like a career in television weather and have never been on-air, then we would advise you to do an internship. Internships are developed between you and the Chief Meteorologist at a local station. You will need to select the station you want to intern at and contact their Chief Meteorologist. The station will need a letter stating you are receiving college credit for the internship. The internship must follow the semester time schedule.
