First Things First: Are You Qualified for the Internship Program?

To qualify for an Internship in Communication, you must meet the following criteria or you will NOT be approved.

1. Be a senior communication major (must have completed at least 90 credit
   hours) at the time of the internship.
2. Have completed:
   • MMC 1004 (Media Literacy)
   • MMC 3105 (Advanced Writing for the Media)
   • MMC 3200 (Law & Ethics of Communication)
   • MMC 3614 (Media Theories and Effects)

   • MMC 4420 (Mass Communications Research or Advertising & PR Research)
     and at least three upper division courses
     (3000-4000 level) in your chosen concentration – check with your advisor or Program of Study for course listing..
3. Be in good academic standing with UNF and possess a major GPA of 2.0 or higher. NOTE: if your GPA is 2.0 or higher at the time the internship is approved but drops below a 2.0 before you begin, your enrollment in MMC 4975 will be cancelled.

Important Information for You to Know

● You cannot register for internship (MMC 4975) online with the rest of your
courses until you have turned in a completed packet and are approved by the internship coordinator. Then an official email will be sent to your UNF email account giving you permission to register.

● Internship locations will evaluate you just as they evaluate regular employees.
This means that poor performance on your part can lead to your dismissal. If that
happens you will receive a grade of “F.”

● Students may not intern at their place of employment unless their internship
duties will provide learning experiences that differ from and go beyond those of the
regular job responsibilities.
