Internships for graduate students

Graduate students are eligible to receive course credit towards their degree for internships completed. Please see the requirements below:

  • We do not offer placements at this time; students are responsible for securing their own internship.

  • While students are responsible for securing their own internship, we do have an internship coordinator, Kristina Werner. Contact her at kjwerner@central.uh.edu to set up an appointment.

  • In order to receive credit, students need to secure a faculty advisor and get permission from the Graduate Director (Jill Yamasaki) to be enrolled in a special problems course with their selected advisor. Click here to email Jill. Please include the completed internship form when you email her.

  • Internships need to be communications related.

  • Students will need to work at least 150 hours at their internship in order to receive credit.

  • Only one internship may be used to receive credit.

  • Students who successfully complete all of the requirements will receive 3 hours of course credit toward their degree.
