Yes! Internships are necessary to be competitive in today’s job market. Our mass communications program requires at least one 3-credit internship, but we encourage two 3-credit internships, and it is not unusual for our graduates to complete three internships before graduation. You may do an internship during the summer anywhere you choose, and there are more internships available near the college than we have students to place in them—which is convenient for doing internships during the fall and spring semesters. (All internships for academic credit must meet certain criteria with the department and the Career Center.)
