Internship Process for Communication and Film Majors

Students are encouraged to complete at least one internship in their major
field before graduation. If you are seeking an internship opportunity, you
may approach the search in three ways: you may contact Ana Eliason in the
internship office in Christensen to look at the internship postings; you may
review the postings on our Communication Studies blog or you may contact
organizations directly.

There are three types of internships:

hours, in addition to an electronic portfolio which includes the following:
