As a general rule, students receiving three credits for the course work a minimum of ten hours per week through the term. Many internship sponsors are flexible, and will accommodate your hectic schedule. And besides many internships are PAID - so you won't have to work and take the internship at the same time. If possible, talk to a professional already working in the field. Once you have narrowed down your career path, go to Blitman Library on the third floor of Annenberg Hall.
Some students already have professional connections.
If you think that you have an internship opportunity that isn't listed in our books, talk with Dr. Lordan about it. Keep in mind, however, that the work must be with a legitimate communications-related organization, and the internship must be related to the fields covered in JPRA courses. He'll give you the registration forms, as well as the internship packet that explains your requirements during the term. It is best to start making your plans during the term before you plan to take the internship, but you can contact him any time during the term to set up a meeting. I'm still not sure, and I think I need more information.
