Internship Opportunities for MDJ Students
A Pivotal Experience:
Internships are a key part of the MDJ program, offering an unmatched opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting. These experiences are crucial in helping you affirm your skills, build professional relationships and potentially secure a full-time position post-graduation.
Requirement and Eligibility: Every MDJ undergraduate, especially public relations majors, must complete an internship before graduating. To be eligible, you must finish certain prerequisite courses. The internship, amounting to a minimum of 300 hours of work, is a critical step towards your professional journey.
Customized for Public Relations Majors: For PR majors, internships involve supervised work under professionals in public relations, communications, or related fields like marketing and advertising. Each credit earned requires at least 150 clock hours of work, with one credit being mandatory and up to six credits contributing towards graduation.
Self-Initiative in Securing Internships: While the university provides resources and guidance, it's primarily your responsibility to secure an internship. Use the MDJ Internship Database to start your search and explore opportunities across various majors like advertising, broadcast news, journalism, and more.
Credit Approval and Enrollment: Once you confirm your internship, complete the Internship Application Form to get it approved. After approval, you'll be enrolled in MDJ 40092 to earn credits. If an internship is already accepted but not approved for credit, consult with your coordinator to decide your next steps.
Guidance and Evaluation: Professor Stefanie Moore, the current PR internship coordinator, will provide you with a syllabus detailing your reporting requirements and evaluation criteria. Internships, including those in summer, are assessed with "S" (Satisfactory) or "U" (Unsatisfactory) grades, based on your fulfillment of these requirements.
