OVERVIEW The Internship in Communication Arts offers FIU students opportunities to work in a professional organization for the purpose of gaining supervised practical experience. The Internship provides students the opportunity to utilize, under professional supervision, skills required through normal coursework. It allows the student to observe competent professional models on the job and provides evaluative feedback through these models (both to the student and the institution). Students work a minimum of 18 20 hours a week for the course of the semester for a total of 3 credits. During any given semester, FIU communication arts students have the opportunity to work in Miami, and other locations across the globe. At the end of an Internship, students prepare presentations about their work experiences, and their employer’s complete evaluations of their performances. The student and the Internship Instructor review these evaluations and presentations together to assess the success of the internship experience. This helps to ensure that students obtain appropriate experience and maintain good relationships with employers. PREREQUISITES Must be a Communication Arts Major entering their senior year. POLICY STATEMENT All internships are subject to approval by the Internship Coordinator or the Department Head. Students are required to get approval of their internship before they begin. Because the internship requires students to get professional experience off campus, no on campus internship will be permitted. COURSE OBJECTIVES
