There are two components to the requirements for passing the internship course. One
component is the work hour requirement. Our most common enrollment is 3 credit hours,
which is a minimum of 210 work hours, or 6 credit hours, which is a minimum of 390
work hours.

6 credit hours and work 400 hours.
If you are an undergrad public relations student then you will be required to work
a minimum of 60 hours per credit hour you are enrolled in.
The other component is the course assignments. These are designed to challenge you
throughout the duration of your internship, to help you apply classroom knowledge
and reflect on your ability and skills.
All of the course work is available on Blackboard, allowing you to complete an internship
in any city, state or country!
If you are an international student then you will be required to attend at least 1
in-person class during the semester.
