For most students, the internship should be done at the end of the junior year. For the internship to be a meaningful learning experience, and for you to be able to provide your internship site with valuable services, you must have completed the Communication Studies' core courses, and a good portion of your Communication Studies' concentration courses prior to the internship. Many students choose to do their internship in the summer.
Some students complete internships during the fall or spring semesters.
There are a limited number of internship opportunities on campus and in the local area. If you are considering a fall or spring internship during your senior year, be sure to contact the intern coordinator early to discuss the possibilities.
