Not only can an internship give students hands-on opportunities to learn new skills and to network, but they also can help a student decide what pathway they want to choose for their future. Below are some common questions students have about internships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I find an internship?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can find and apply for internships on their own, or can seek assistance either from Assistant Professor &amp; Director of Undergraduate Studies Quinten Bernhold at&nbsp;<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"mailto:qbernhol@utk.edu\">qbernhol@utk.edu<\/a>, or the <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cci.utk.edu\/career\">College of Communication and Information\u2019s Center for Career Development<\/a>, or via <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/studentsuccess.utk.edu\/career\/handshake\/\">Handshake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I get credit for an internship?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can earn 1-6 credit hours for an internship, based on the average amount of time you will work at your internship per week; six hours of work a week equals one credit hour. After securing an internship, students need to register for CMST 392 Internship to receive academic credit. Students may take up to three internship credits in one semester. Credits may also be spread over more than one semester&nbsp;<em>but may not exceed a total of six during a student\u2019s undergraduate career.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is eligible for the internship program?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The student must be a&nbsp;<strong>junior<\/strong>&nbsp;or a&nbsp;<strong>senior<\/strong>&nbsp;at the time the internship begins to receive academic credit for an internship during the academic year (fall or spring semester). First-year students and sophomores are also eligible to participate in the internship program but their academic and disciplinary records will be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What will I do in the internship program?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides working at their internships, students registered for one or more internship credits are required to participate in a weekly seminar the same semester as the internship. Students will complete several assignments, including keeping a personal journal and submitting a final paper. When participating in an internship away from the Knoxville area, students are expected to complete all assignments, which will be submitted via email or the course\u2019s Canvas website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact\">We&#8217;re here to help!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group utkwds-contact-single has-light-background-color has-background is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fc9f69e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/cci.utk.edu\/cmst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/quinten-bernhold-hs.jpg\" alt=\"Quinten Bernhold\" class=\"wp-image-35760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cci.utk.edu\/cmst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/quinten-bernhold-hs.jpg 740w, https:\/\/cci.utk.edu\/cmst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/quinten-bernhold-hs-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-44e3bdee wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quinten Bernhold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-utkwds-orange-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Coordinator for the School of Communication Studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">865-974-5109<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"utkwds-cta-link has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"mailto:qbernol@utk.edu\">qbernhol@utk.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"utkwds-cta-link has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cci.utk.edu\/cmstabout\/directory\/quinten-bernhold\">Profile<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-light-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c3e9b123 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" id=\"listings\" style=\"border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--orange);border-top-width:10px;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;font-size:clamp(0.984rem, 0.984rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.7), 1.5rem);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;line-height:1.7\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-left\" id=\"JEM-Jobs\">Handshake internship &amp; job listings<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xx-small);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xx-small);padding-left:0;padding-right:0;\" class=\"is-grid columns-2 alignwide wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/utk.joinhandshake.com\/jobs\/11114584\/share_preview'>Customer Service Gate Agent (Part-Time) at Piedmont Airlines<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/utk.joinhandshake.com\/jobs\/11111989\/share_preview'>Sales Development Representative II at FedEx<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/utk.joinhandshake.com\/jobs\/11106724\/share_preview'>Sales Development Representative II at FedEx<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/utk.joinhandshake.com\/jobs\/11106753\/share_preview'>Sales Development Representative II at FedEx<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/utk.joinhandshake.com\/jobs\/11106700\/share_preview'>Sales Development Representative II at FedEx<\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left is-style-utkwds-paragraph-large\"><strong>Find more jobs by signing in to the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.joinhandshake.com\/login\" class=\"ek-link\">Handshake Student Portal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting students up for success At every stage of a student\u2019s higher education journey, the end goal is still the same: to build a successful career in their chosen field.
