Internships, Micro-Internships & Practicum
Internships, micro-internships and practicum all allow students to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world situations, as well as directly establish industry connections. Student interns distinguish themselves in the job market and earn up to six credits toward required communication electives.
If you have secured an industry and major-related internship, paid or unpaid, you can earn COM 495 or COMSTRAT 495 credit that can apply to your Murrow degree.
If you have secured a micro-internship or other practicum opportunity, you can earn COM 497 or COMSTRAT 497 credit that can apply to your Murrow degree.
Please consult with your advisor to discuss these opportunities and to learn if you are eligible.

Integrated Strategic Communication majors (Global, Everett, Vancouver) are required to earn 3 credits of COMSTRAT 495 (Strategic Communication Professional Internship.)
