Communications Internships offer the opportunity for students to be placed at professional, media related sites in either the profit or not-for-profit sectors. These on-the-job experiences allow students to gain "real world" experience and skills while earning collegecredit. Internships are unpaid unless specifically required by the site offering the internship. Internships in Communications require that the student complete 40 hours of site service for every credit received for the experience. Students must complete a contract that is secured from the Academic Practica and Internship Coordinator. This contract must be signed and approved by the Chair of the Department of Communications, the site supervisor, and the student engaged in the internship. A copy of this completed contract must be given to all of the above and an additional copy filed with the Office of Academic Affairs. All contracts must be approved, signed and submitted to the above on or before the last day to Add/Drop a class for that particular semester or mod. Failure to meet this deadline may result in an automatic withdrawal from being registered for the Internship. Internships are provided to students through one of several methods: 1. The Department of Communications maintains a regular listing of sites that have offered Internships in the past. The student may be assigned to a site by the Department Chair. 2. The student may approach the Career Services Office to investigate potential sites. 3. The student may seek his/her own site location. Students enrolled in the CO 380-Internship will receive a letter grade at the completion of the Internship. Students will be evaluated upon the following criteria: 1. A daily journal of activities performed at the Internship and an accurate record of the number of hours engaged in Internship related activities for each day entered in the journal. 2. A sample of material that the student created or worked on, in some capacity, associated with the Internship. 3. A Summary/Evaluation paper that the student will write at the end of the internship. These papers are reflective in nature and should include any information that is important in determining a fair letter grade for the Internship. The above will be due within one week of completing the experiential component associated with the Internship. Internship sites may or may not be visited by the Department Chair of Communications or by another representative of the College. However, the burden for communicating any problems associated with an Internship is upon the student engaged in the Internship. Students in the Communications program may complete more than one internship before degree completion. However, the total number of Internship (CO 380) credits may not exceed 12 credits.
