In the trenches: taking an internship
Internships are a critical ingredient in the
successful mix of education and experience necessary to success
in a communication field. The department's internship coordinator
works to find internships for all communication majors. We like
to say that, because media-rich Fargo-Moorhead offers the most
internship opportunities between Minneapolis and Spokane, we
can nearly guarantee that we will find an internship for all
qualified majors by their senior year. Not only that, but plenty
of possibilities are available on campus through the university
relations office, extension communication, sports information,
and other areas. In addition to its own internship office, the department
coordinates many paid internships through the university's
Office of Cooperative Education. This office arranges work
experience for many departments through a single facility,
assuring students a comprehensive listing of opportunities
and an aggressive search for available jobs. While the office
does not list unpaid internships, communications students
who wish to gain valuable experience can receive academic
credit for the work.
Both co-op generated internships and other internships must
be approved by the department for credit. Generally, students
are eligible for one credit for every 45 hours worked. Three
credits apply to the major; the rest may apply to electives.
