Internships & Journalism Minor

Students of junior and senior status are eligible for earning academic credit as interns working for our student-run campus news site, TheSeahawk.org.

Requirements

• Approval from the student media-manager and the journalism-minor coordinator
• 120 hours of documented work by semester's end
• Weekly editorial meetings
• Training workshops in media law and media ethics (may be replaced by relevant coursework)
• Monthly meetings and exit interview with the assistant director for Student Media

Some departments allow for campus internships to be repeated once, provided that the intern takes on new responsibilities that provide new learning.

Contact your department's internship coordinator for specifics.

The College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts offers a 21-hour interdisciplinary minor in journalism to prepare you for careers in online, print and broadcast journalism. The skills learned are transferable to a wide range of fields such as marketing, research, the sciences and law.

You will acquire a basic knowledge of the journalism industry in courses offered by the Department of Communication Studies, and you will develop writing and editing skills through courses offered by the Department of English.

The Seahawk and TealTV's news programming are ideal outlets to practice the skills learned in the J-minor.
