Course Description:
An internship can be a useful way to give students a fundamental understanding of the industry and to accelerate one’s career path. The course aims to enhance students’ career readiness through guided self-reflection, peer dialogue, and employer feedback. Through active participation in online discussions and thoughtful completion of structured assignments, students will reflect on their internships and identify how they relate to their coursework, college experience, personal identity, career readiness, and professional future.
Please note that in order to earn credits for COMMLD 593 an Internship is necessary but not sufficient. Students must also complete additional academic deliverables for their instructor as described above.
Also note that Internships should be directly relevant to the student’s field of study (degree or specialization). Part-time jobs not related to the degree will normally not be approved for internship credit, as the purpose of an internship is to apply what you have been learning in your degree to a real world work experience. See complete details and application instructions on the Guide to Internships page.
