A portfolio can be filled with a variety of experiences. Students here usually perform two to three internships during their degree program. Some choose to serve in different capacities, trying newspapers one semester, a magazine the next and maybe public relations later. At this time, we do not require internships. We don't find the need to do so.
Students are anxious to apply classroom skills to the work environment.
Many internships lead to full-time jobs. We're proud of the cooperation our program receives from organizations across Middle Tennessee. Belmont journalism program interns are considered reliable and skilled which makes them in high demand.
