COMM 346 - Internship in Communication

(3)

FA. In this weekly seminar course, students reflect on how to work, relate, and communicate effectively in professional settings. Academic work includes weekly seminar participation, readings, journals, a presentation, and a professional portfolio. Grading is based on these requirements as well as the internship supervisor’s evaluation. Students must intern in a professional setting (for-profit or non-profit) a minimum of 10 hours each week throughout the semester they are enrolled in the course. Before the semester begins, students should find an internship that fits with their professional interests and will provide them with opportunities for new learning under the supervision of an expert. In order to engage the various levels of learning that an internship affords, we require students to intern off-campus and prefer that they work on-site at an organization rather than telecommuting. Prerequisites: junior or senior status, and 2.5 GPA.
