Eng Internships (150 Hours)

Catalog description

Internships give students an opportunity for intensive, hands-on experience in career fields such as publishing, public relations, advertising, journalism, and law. Interns work with a faculty member to design a course that provides them with an opportunity to learn skills specific to a career. They are expected to work at the internship site for approximately 10 hours per week for a total of 150 hours. <i>Written or electronic permission of the instructor. Internships may be paid or unpaid, and they are ordinarily limited to fall or spring semesters with Baltimore-based companies, firms, or philanthropic organizations. Summer and out-of-town internships will be approved only under extraordinary circumstances and require the written approval of the department chair. Students should begin planning for the internship at least one month before registration during the semester before the internship takes place. The course counts as an elective. May be repeated once for degree credit.</i>
