 <\/p>\n

Requirements for SOJMC internships:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Undergraduate SOJMC majors are required<\/strong> to complete 3 credit hours of internship before graduation.<\/li>\n
  2. It takes 100 hours of work to equal 1<\/strong> hour of academic credit.<\/li>\n
  3. Students may take 1, 2 or 3 credits of internship in a semester.<\/li>\n
  4. To receive academic credit, internship work must occur during the semester of enrollment.<\/strong> Work between semesters can be counted provided the student is enrolled for the following semester.<\/li>\n
  5. Internship credit is offered for a limited number of students in fall and spring semesters. The SOJMC prefers that students earn internship credit during the summer semester<\/strong> between their junior and senior years when students are most prepared to make a contribution to a company\/organization and receive true on-the-job experience.<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0Students may take up to 3 additional credit hours of internship to fulfill a SOJMC elective requirement.<\/li>\n
  7. Students enrolled in the internship course must\n
      \n
    1. report regularly to the course professor,<\/li>\n
    2. complete a final reflective report, and<\/li>\n
    3. provide a portfolio of mass communications internship work. (Length of report and number of portfolio pieces depends on the number of credit hours taken.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Students and employers are expected to make arrangements for a midterm visit<\/strong> with the internship course professor. The meeting will include all three parties and will last about 15-30 minutes. No preparation is necessary for the visit. The course professor will review the intern\u2019s performance. The meeting may be done face-to-face, virtual, or over the phone.<\/li>\n
    5. Employers must submit a final evaluation<\/strong> form worth 50% of the intern\u2019s grade.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Please read the government guidelines on internships at https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/whd\/regs\/compliance\/whdfs71.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

      The School of Journalism and Mass Communications encourages all internship employers to consider PAYING<\/strong>\u00a0students earning academic credit for an internship at least a STIPEND<\/strong> covering the cost of course enrollment. Cost for course enrollment can be found at https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/tuition\/<\/a><\/p>\n

      IMPORTANT:<\/strong> We will\u00a0NOT<\/strong>\u00a0approve or POST internships not related to mass communications or from companies\/organizations that do not guarantee adequate intern mentorship. For internships other than mass communications please contact the Marshall University Career Services office at https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/career-services<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
