Internships On-Campus Scholarships Employment

Internships are important for students in order to gain real world experience while in college. The benefits are numerous. They offer:

an opportunity to develop and learn new skills

 job experience for a resume

experience in a career field to help students decide whether they have made the right choice

a possible job upon graduation

contacts and networking possibilities

a chance to earn college credit or sometimes a salary

confidence in applied skills  

 

Students can elect to do internships during the academic year or summer.  The Department of Communication has close associations with a variety of media organizations in Western and Central New York, including:

radio and TV stations

newspapers and magazines

advertising agencies

public relations firms

organizations with “in house” public relations departments

audio and video production companies

athletic teams

 

Internships are evaluated based on the learning objectives students establish with the faculty sponsor and the job requirements established with the organization offering the internship.  The faculty sponsor will provide additional requirements to promote learning and to keep up to date on students’ progress.  Students are required to submit a biweekly journal during their internship and a portfolio of work at the end of the internship.  In addition, the sponsoring organization will submit mid-term and final evaluations of students’ performance.
