About Internships

All Kent JMC undergraduate students are required to complete an internship in their chosen major to graduate. This is an opportunity to test your skills and to gain invaluable real-world experience. Students who perform well in their internship often are offered full-time positions after graduation by the organizations with which they interned. Internships must be a minimum of 300 hours of work and cannot be taken for credit until certain prerequisite courses are completed. All internships must be approved by a faculty adviser in your major prior to registering.
You can begin your internship search with the JMC Internship Database. Kent State University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC) has launched an internship database, designed to streamline communication between the students and the intern employers. Michele Ewing, associate professor in JMC and the former public relations internship coordinator, helped create the database after recognizing an opportunity to use the Web to help better connect students to potential intern employers.
“It’s designed to provide a place for JMC students to begin a search for internships,” said Ewing. “We’re trying to help students identify career opportunities and career tracks.”
JMC students can search for internships by major: advertising, electronic media/video, broadcast news, journalism (news/magazine/online), information design, photojournalism and public relations.
The current public relations internship coordinator is JMC associate professor Stefanie Moore. You may contact Stefanie Moore for more information about an internship in public relations. Visit the following links for more information on internships in your sequence.
