Welcome to the Communication Internship Course Guide! This site provides you with information about our internship program in the Department of Communication.

The fast paced workplace and competitive job market requires that students develop their aptitude for complex communication and expert thinking. The communication internship course is an important contributor to developing your expertise in communication and your ability to effectively participate in professional work related to communication. The course helps you make connections between what you learn in class and what you experience at work and in professional life. For this reason, the Department of Communication encourages all students to engage in internships that complement their course of study in the field of communication. An internship also helps you discover what you are good at and what you like. It helps you make choices and build relationships with people in the professional world. The online support for the internship course should help you make the most of your internship experience.
