Internships

Students in the Department of Communication Media are strongly encouraged to supplement traditional classroom experience with relevant on-the-job training in their area of study.

We strongly recommend the internship experience as a means of linking theory to practice and as a method of preparing our students to work effectively in multiplatform journalism, film and documentary production, advertising, organizational communication/corporate communication, and public relations.

Students at LU have on-campus and off-campus internship opportunities that help them build their abilities and competencies, apply what they have learned to real-life problems, and develop a professional portfolio.
