The Department of Communication, Dance and Theatre strongly encourages students to consider participation in the Department's communication internship program.
Internships provide an important transition between the classroom and the working world.
Participants are involved in a variety of projects that enable them to put their own creative and organizational skills to work in a professional setting, as well as allow them to begin adapting to the obligations and responsibilities of the workplace. Each semester, the department places 20-25 students in internships throughout the South Bend area. Past internships have included assignments in public relations, advertising, marketing and sales for area hotels, social service organizations, government agencies, television studios, volunteer agencies and hospitals. Broadcast assignments and special event planning have also been part of the intern menu. Every effort is made to match the student to her particular interest in the field.
