Internships and Research
Internships are designed to provide students with the opportunity to identify connections between their major in Communication Arts and Sciences and a possible career. Students have the opportunity to apply skills and knowledge to many types of internship positions, depending on interests and background. Internships are encouraged, but not required, and are usually completed during the 7th or 8th semester. Internships are usually taken for 3 credits and count toward Communication Arts and Sciences major requirements at the 400-level.
