Grades for the internship are determined by the faculty advisor with the advise of the on-site supervisor.
Internships have several educational objectives.
Students should learn a great deal about their chosen profession including specific job skills. In many cases the student will receive hands-on training in production or writing. It is hoped that the student will have the beginnings of a professional portfolio or resume tape at the completion of the internship. Personal contacts made during the internship may help in locating employment later. Internships are available ordinarily for 2 or 4 credits depending upon the minimum number of hours the student works during the course of the internship.
