Upon completion of 12 semester hours at UNT with at least a 2.5 GPA, you may work in a job related to your major through UNT's office of Cooperative Education. You may earn academic credit and money for your college expenses while gaining valuable work experience. Co-op employers pay extremely well, and the jobs usually last several semesters, often until graduation. More than 800 employers work with the office to provide excellent learning opportunities, many of which become permanent full-time positions upon graduation. Cooperative Education also assists with placing students in internships, which last for one full semester or summer.
Students often intern with local professional media organizations.
The Department of Radio, Television and Film works closely with Cooperative Education to help students arrange internships with media organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. To participate in an RTVF-sponsored internship, you must be a junior or senior RTVF major and meet other requirements as specified by the department and the employer. You also should become proficient in using computers. At UNT, you will need to take courses in most of these subjects under the university core curriculum required of all undergraduates, in addition to taking courses in your major. RTVF is a limited admission program.
