Multimedia Journalism Internships
Multimedia Journalism majors are strongly encouraged to take multiple internships in a variety of settings: print, broadcast and online. Most local media have developed Web-based services where students also find a variety of internship opportunities. Students may apply up to 15 internship credits toward graduation. Students are strongly urged to work closely with their faculty advisor or internship coordinator in identifying internships that best suit their interest and career ambitions. More information about internships can be found here.
