Students will enhance their communication skills, develop an understanding of leadership skills required of their specific communication field, and begin the professional networking needed to become successful in the workplace. Students, under the supervision of both a qualified professional (onsite supervisor) and the internship professor, will complete, track, and reflect on a minimum of 120 hours of communication field-specific work. Throughout their internship process, this course will challenge students to reflect upon and evaluate their leadership skills and internship performance. (4 credits)
