INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION INTERNSHIPS
All integrated
marketing communication majors are required to complete at least one supervised
internship for credit.
Students must seek their own internships after consulting with
Dr. Marilyn Sarow, who coordinates all IMC internships.
The internship process begins with the
academic adviser and Dr. Sarow, followed by application to
qualify for an internship. This is a one-page form available
on this site and in the department office.
After the student has
been certified as qualified for an internship, she or he may
pursue an internship that Dr. Sarow has deemed appropriate
for the major. When the internship has been agreed upon by
the internship on-site supervisor and Dr. Sarow, the
contract can be completed. Internships require approval by
the student, on-site supervisor, faculty adviser, department
chair, and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences followed
by registration in the course and fee payment for the
credit.

Because internships are expected to
provide meaningful professional experience related to one’s major, not all
proposed internships will be approved. In
addition to gaining approval for internship sites, students must meet the
following academic requirement:
-
Completion
of IMCO 105, MCOM 241, MCOM 370, MCOM 341, MKTG 380, MGMT 321 AND MKTG 481
with a C- or better in each course.
After
a student is approved for an internship, a contract must be completed
between the student, the employer, and Winthrop University. In order for academic credit to be given for the internship, a record of
the student’s progress must be kept. Specific
guidelines will be set up in the internship contract, but minimum requirements
include:
-
Filing
a weekly report to your internship faculty adviser showing the work you have
completed
-
Completing
a final report that summarizes, reviews and analyzes the internship
experience no later than 10 days after completing the internship
-
A confidential evaluation by
the employer of student’s work
and ability to the internship faculty adviser
