Elective Courses Students in the MS in Health Communication Program have a minimum of 8 credits of elective courses available to them. Electives require the consent of the program and course director. Tufts students may take no more than 8 elective credits at Emerson College and vice versa. Several major new electives under development are targeted directly to health communication students. Two credit internships are roughly the equivalent of 100 hours of work, while 4 credit internships are roughly 200 hours of work.
Internships can span two semesters with the permission of the program director.
Internships may be paid or unpaid.
