| 019:099 "Journalism
Internship" (1-3 hours credit, pass-fail grade)
Each JMC undergraduate* may register for 019:099 for a total
of 3 hours credit, provided they:
- Have been admitted to the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication
- Have completed Journalistic Reporting and Writing (019:098)
- Will work at least 10 hours per week for 10 weeks (or
8 weeks during the summer)
- Will be engaged in professional activities at least 80
percent of the time
- Will be supervised by a professional (not a student)
Course credit is based on the number of hours the student
will work:
300 hours of internship work = 3 credit hours
200 hours of internship work = 2 credit hours
100 hours of internship work = 1 credit hour
Credit for 019:099 does not count toward the 35 hours needed
to graduate in journalism, but it does count toward the maximum
of 40 JMC hours majors are allowed to take, and toward the
total of 120 hours they need to graduate from the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Students registering an internship for credit during the
fall or spring semester should choose a faculty adviser who
will monitor the internship and award a pass-fail grade. During
the summer, the internship and assessment coordinator may
advise students registered for credit.
Students are also encouraged to register internships for
no-credit through the VI Career Center. Online instructions
for doing so are available at: www.careers.uiowa.edu/students/internregistrationnew.htm
