COMM 205 - Communications and Media Arts Internship 1

3 credits

Once Communications and Media Arts curriculum students independently procure an internship at a facility in the media field (radio stations, television facilities, major corporations, print sites, etc.), they can register for college internship credit. Each internship consists of observation and practical, hands-on experience whenever possible. Students are required to keep a daily log of activities (approved by the site supervisor), submit a short reflective essay about their internship experience, and check in with the WCC Internship Coordinator as requested. A minimum of 45 hours in the field for 3 credits (3 hrs. per week for 15 weeks) is required. Hours to be determined by the students and the internship site. This course is limited to majors in the Communications and Media Arts curriculum. Students must see Professor Eric Luther (email eric.luther@sunywcc.edu) for prior permission and an application in the preceding semester to qualify. Enrollment is limited and, again, students currently procure their internships independently.
