实习
The 通信部门 encourages majors to pursue internships during their time at 电子游戏软件. 实习 provide students with the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom in a real world setting. They also help students define their interests, acquire practical experience, and begin building their own network.
Any senior major who has completed the requisite courses is eligible for Senior Internship Seminar, a graded three-credit course that counts as a communication elective. These internships serve as capstone experiences and help majors begin the transition away from college into a communication-related profession.
The 沟通 Internship Program is designed to provide students with opportunities to explore different career opportunities. The program aids students in acquiring valuable skills and knowledge and in using laboratory equipment not ordinarily available on campus. The program also allows students to integrate academic theory with practical experience. 最重要的是, the internship program attempts to expand a student's understanding of the dynamics of mass communications.
The program is open to majors in communication who have senior standing. 除了, potential interns must have completed a minimum of seven courses in communications at 电子游戏软件 prior to the beginning of the final year. These seven courses are to include the five basic required courses - The Rhetorical Tradition, Survey of Mass 沟通, 公众演讲, Interpersonal 沟通, 及沟通方法.
Eligible students are invited to apply to 克里斯汀•卡斯韦尔, Director of the Senior Internship Seminar. Applicants for the fall semester will be approved during the weeks prior to pre-registration in the spring; applicants for the spring semester will be approved during the weeks prior to pre-registration in the fall. Applicants may also enroll with Prof. Caswell through the drop/add period. 表格可在St. Mary's Hall South, 4th Floor and on the 沟通 department's web site
Those students accepted for the program are responsible for securing an appropriate field placement subject to the approval of the Director of the Senior Internship Seminar. Internship credit can only be awarded for a placement that has a professional level of supervision, requires skills consistent with the academic experiences of the intern, and meets the test for an appropriate placement established by the internship program. 沟通 Internship opportunities will be announced in Department Digest and may also be found on the 电子游戏软件 职业中心 web site and in the Department Library (St. 玛丽堂南).
Students may enroll in the internship program for one semester (3 total credits) during their senior year. In order to receive a grade for the course, students must:
- Work 15 hours per week at their placement
- Meet all deadlines and complete all paperwork for the course
Interns must write a field research paper. Grading in the internship program is based upon rigorous standards, and superior grades will be awarded only where there is demonstrable proof of superior work.
The Department works with majors to find appropriate placements. The best internships offer the student a range of experiences, provide the opportunity to work on a meaningful project, and involve regular contact with a supervisor who is interested in the student's learning. Over the years the Department has developed an extensive network of outstanding internship opportunities. Recent internship placements include:
