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.
