COMM 491: Practicum in Communication

Internships provide students an opportunity to apply communication principles in a non-academic environment and to gain practical industry experience prior to graduation and seeking employment. The practicum in communication consists of 120 hours of supervised work experience for 3 credit hours as well as assignments designed to assess the application of program content to the work experience. Organizations sponsoring the internship must agree to participate in the assessment process and adhere to Department of Labor internship standards. Students must have their internship approved by the internship director prior to enrollment. This course is not repeatable for credit.
