Student Internship Opportunities

We are driven to extend your higher-level classroom learning into meaningful professional and civic engagement internship opportunities. Look for:

  • Internship Showcases with working professionals
  • Q&A opportunities with current interns
  • Features of our internship cohorts on our website
  • Communication Studies advertisements on internships we learn about

You can visit the TU Career Center’s job search database Handshake for internship listings. Additionally, you can check out our department's Internship Linktree for current opportunities. Internships advertised on Handshake or Linktree still need to be approved by the department's internship coordinator.

“ My internship has allowed me to develop my talents and gain real-world experience to prepare me for the future. Through completing different projects and assignments I have improved my organization and communication skills in ways traditional classes cannot. After finishing this internship, I feel much more qualified and confident in my abilities and I am excited to see what the future holds. ”
