You must also have the permission of the faculty adviser. An internship requires that you work a documented 135 hours for the internship location for each 3 semester hours of credit. This is about 10 hours a week during a regular semester. A maximum of 6 semester hours of credit may be applied toward the communication degree. In addition, the internship can be paid or unpaid.
Interns keep a weekly log of their activities and experiences.
They also write a brief one-page midterm report and a final report of three to five pages about their work experience. In addition, the internship supervisor completes a final evaluation of the intern's work. All of these items are submitted to the adviser as part of the intern's grade. The adviser usually makes at least one on-site visit during the internship and may require the intern to attend internship meetings. You are responsible for finding a business or organization that offers opportunities to gain communication-related experience.
