Strategic Communication students brainstorm on a new client presentation for Roxo, our in-house agency.
If one of our students is seeking academic credit for an internship (whether paid or unpaid), we require that the student complete a few requirements in addition to the work they do on the job.
We also ask that employers/supervisors of our credit-seeking interns participate in our internship program by providing the student on-the-job support and supervision and providing us with information about the student’s work.
- Employers/Supervisors of students in for-credit internships (paid or unpaid) will sign an agreement with the TCU School of Strategic Communication, agreeing to fulfill the requirements below so that the student can have a beneficial learning experience and obtain academic credit.
- Employers/Supervisors will assign a specific staff member (or members) to direct the student’s internship and to prepare evaluations of the student’s performance.
- Employers/Supervisors will provide facilities, supplies, space and support, within its capabilities, necessary to the student’s effective performance.
- Employers/Supervisors will provide at least 75 hours of work responsibilities relevant to the professional and intellectual development of the student in his/her field for each hour of credit the student intends to earn, up to 3 hours a semester.
- Communicate with the Department’s internship director about any concerns related to the internship or the intern’s performance during the term.
