Internships partnerships are secured by the School of Communication and the Arts.  Students will apply to the program.  Once selected to participate in the program, students will identify which opportunities they are most interested in.  Students are placed in internships based on a combination of their interests and the organization’s needs.   

To successfully complete a 9-credit internship, students are required to work a minimum of 405 hours throughout the course of the semester.   Fall/Spring internships are typically 24-36 hours per week and usually take place over a 4-day work week.  Work hours/days vary by placement.
