An internship within the field of Telecommunication is one of the best ways to enhance job prospects after graduation. Internships prepare students for the real world by providing not only on the job practical experience, but also the opportunity to network and obtain valuable professional contacts. Most graduates feel that the experiential learning gained through internships was instrumental in helping them land that important first job.
The Telecommunication Internship program is diverse enough to allow students a great deal of freedom in setting up their own uniquely tailored internship experience. Over the years, students have interned in all facets of the industry, both domestically and abroad. Whether students are participating in an established on-going internship, or creating one specifically designed to meet individual needs, the Internship Office is a valuable resource for a well-rounded college career. The Telecommunication Internship Office is in Room 412 Comm Arts, 517.432.9841.
1. You must be a Telecommunication major.
2. You must have an overall GPA of at least 2.5.
3. You cannot be on academic probation.
4. You must have achieved junior level standing by the end of the semester preceding the internship.
5. You must have satisfactorily completed your major's core courses.
Internships must be arranged and approved in advance. No retroactive credits will be granted.
When applying for succeeding semesters of an ongoing internship, a new application is necessary each semester. Succeeding semesters at the same facility will require an increased level of responsibility and new experiences.
Any deviation from these requirements requires a waiver request form to be completed. The waiver should be well thought out, typed, and submitted along with the application form. Filling out a waiver request does not automatically mean the waiver will be granted.
The Department has two types of internships: one for external internships with a business in the industry; and one for internal opportunities such as a UGTA, studio assistant, or lab assistant. Each of these requires the completion of an Internship Application form. The forms are available in the middle of the semester prior to the internship. The forms are available outside room 409 Com Arts. Once they are completed they are to be returned to the Internship Coordinator.
