An internship is a highly
recommended capstone experience for journalism and media studies majors. Students pursue placements in major media outlets throughout the New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia markets.
The department internship
coordinator assists students in finding an internship. Students must qualify, receive permission, and then register for the 6-credit or 3-credit internship. To qualify:
- a student must be a major who has completed a minimum of 75 overall credits and five journalism (567)
courses, at least three of which must be skills courses;
- have an overall GPA of 2.5 or better; and
- have a 2.75 GPA or better in the major.
The requirements must be completed before the semester the student undertakes the internship and may not be taken concurrently with the experience.
