MKT 204 Marketing Communications Internship
What
is an Internship?
Internships are 1-3 unit courses that include a minimum of 40
hours of supervised work experience related to a student’s major or
career goal for which the student earns academic credit. The work
experience may be part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid, and primarily
in an off-campus environment. Important elements structured into
the experience which distinguish it from a short-term job or volunteer
work are an intentional self-directed learning strategy, reflection -
both verbal and written, and an emphasis on professional
development.
