It is required for all Journalism and Media majors to complete a practicum. A practicum may be on-campus or off-campus in Knoxville, but may also be in another location during summer months, with permission of the practicum coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How many hours is a practicum?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A practicum requires a minimum of 150 hours of meaningful and supervised work experienced during a semester.&nbsp; This usually means that students work 10-20 hours per week. Media outlets prefer practicum students to be there for long blocks of time either all day or mornings or afternoons.&nbsp;Some night shifts are also available in TV news. A student can enroll for a practicum while enrolled in other courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do students apply for a practicum?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must not only enroll in the course to earn credit but must also be accepted by an approved media or communications company.&nbsp;Students apply a few weeks before the beginning of the semester in which they plan to complete a practicum.&nbsp;Students may be asked to complete an application for selected companies, interview, and take drug tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can a practicum be paid?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paid practicums are permitted.&nbsp;Some TV stations and cable companies now only hire paid practicum and internship students.&nbsp;Students should treat the experience as a job. A final paper, time sheet, and a supervisor evaluation are required for a student to receive credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the difference between a practicum and an internship?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Journalism and Media practicum is required as a core course for graduation. An internship is an optional opportunity for students to choose for additional experience and as an elective course credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I find a practicum?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal, on-campus partners include: WUTK, <em>The Daily Beacon<\/em>, The Volunteer Channel, WUOT, and VFL Films.
