Communication and Media Studies Students have the option of completing an internship that meets a group C course requirement as well as their Capstone experience. Students are encouraged to participate in internship experiences. Students can take up to four different group C internships and complete an internship for their capstone experience. The outcome of including internship experience enables students to link their course work with practical application.

We invite students to seek out internships that will connect classroom learning with practical experience. We encourage you to participate in, at least, one internship during your time as a Communication Studies major.
