Communication Internship Requirements
Only Communication majors and minors with a 3.0 GPA are eligible for Communication internships.
Normally, a 3.0 GPA is required for permission to intern. Exceptions may be granted by the Coordinator of Internships wWhen the internship will not be calculated in completing the major or minor and the Coordinator of Interns judges that the student is unusually well prepared otherwise for the internship experience.
In addition, both majors and minors must have completed, or be in the process of completing, at least two (2) COM courses before being eligible for an internship.
Interns must spend a minimum of 111 hours (approximately 8-10 hours per week based on the number of weeks interning) at the internship site and be evaluated by the site supervisor. Written work is to be submitted to the Coordinator every week and a research paper or other project must be completed and turned in to the Coordinator by a predetermined deadline.
No more than one internship, for a total of three credits, may be counted toward major or minor requirements:
