UMass Communication Internships
“What can you do with a Communication degree?”
If you’re a UMass Communication major, you’ve probably heard that “you can do anything with this degree.” While that may be reassuring to hear, it may also be extremely overwhelming.
How do you narrow down your potential career options? And how do you even begin to build your resume?
In order to give Communication undergraduates some sense of direction, I wanted to create an internship profile series, where former and current students can evaluate internships that they’ve previously held. Not only will this give you ideas on where to apply, but it will also serve as a guide for what you can expect in the workplace.
If you’re a Comm student and you’ve completed a cool internship, please feel free to shoot an email to askcomm@comm.umass.edu to be featured in this project!
Good luck!
