Practicum

Catalog description

Practicum is an opportunity to begin applying coursework to hands-on experience for students. Students will coordinate with the department chair to find an on-campus site where they can work a minimum of 50 hours during the semester. The work they do must be relevant to their academic and professional goals in the field of integrated media or public relations and must be supervised by a person qualified and committed to furthering the student’s knowledge and skills. The practicum experience is designed to test student ability to function like a professional while cultivating communication knowledge and skills in preparation for entering an internship.
