Department of Communication Studies

The Communication Studies faculty strongly recommend that you consider doing one or more internships during your college career at SUNY Oswego. Internships are academic programs tailored to the individual's specific interests and designed to fit within the student's academic schedule. Here are just three important reasons for doing an internship:

*Internships, both on and off campus, provide you with an opportunity to explore career paths to see if a particular career is right for you.
*Internships provide you with an opportunity to make contacts and to network in your future career field
*Internships can provide you with college credit that can count towards graduation
