JOUR 3896: Directed Internship
Some internships require that you earn credit, or you may wish to make the most of your internship experience through personal reflection. If you'd like to earn credit for an internship, you can take a one credit course, JOUR 3896, which is supervised by a faculty mentor.
JOUR 3896 is only offered during the fall and spring semesters. If you have a summer internship, explore CLA's internship course summer options.
Here’s the process for enrolling in JOUR 3896:
1. Find and accept an internship.
2. Make sure your internship will take place for at least 8 weeks during the term you plan to enroll in the course.
3. Make sure your internship is a minimum of 6 hours per week, totaling 48 hours worked during the term you will enroll in the course.
4. Select JOUR 3896 instructor based on the nature of your internship work. Contact the instructor to discuss the internship and the course:
- News and Feature Writing: Gayle Golden [email protected]
- Advertising: Jennifer Johnson [email protected]
- Broadcast: Scott Libin [email protected]
- Public Relations: Jill Bonham [email protected]
5. All internships taken for credit in the College of Liberal Arts are required to submit information through GoldPASS powered by Handshake. Once you've connected with the instructor, follow the directions for how to Request an Experience. You will need information such as your supervisor’s first and last name, email address, and a list of responsibilities to complete the experience form.
Requesting an experience through GoldPass powered by Handshake will prompt your internship site supervisor and the course instructor to approve the internship experience. Once your internship has been approved, the course instructor will tell Hubbard School student services to send you a permission number to enroll. If you need assistance with completing this process, please contact Hubbard School student services (110 Murphy Hall or [email protected]).
*International Students must meet with ISSS prior to beginning the internship and enrollment in Jour 3896 to review their work status and how that impacts their internship.
