Practicum

Individual field study and practice for a semester or a summer in news organizations, public agencies, or elsewhere. This course number is also used for all internships applied toward credit within the Journalism Department. While these credits will count toward graduation, they do NOT count toward the major -- unless you are in the Sports Journalism Concentration or Public Relations Concentration, both of which require an internship. These credits can only be completed on a Pass/Fail basis.

IS-MachineLanguage/ChildRescue

Students will work collaboratively to construct production-grade software used to advance the goal of Child Rescue. This course is a group-based, guided independent study. Our goal is to build software that leverages practical machine learning models to be used by professionals dedicated to rescuing children from abuse. Students will be encouraged to design and build their own diagnostic and machine learning tools, while also learning from professionals in the fields of digital forensics and law enforcement.
