The Communications Internship Office is your go-to for all things internship! Look for opportunities on our jobs board, learn about how to start looking for your dream internship, review the requirements necessary to receive academic credit for your internship, and when you’ve found the one that suits you best – apply!

NOTE FOR THOSE APPLYING:

  1. If you are registering for a spring/summer internship, please submit an application for either spring or summer, in whichever term you anticipate beginning your internship. The system does not have COMMS 496R or COMMS 399R under the Spring-Summer option. We can work with you to extend the class over both terms.
  2. Jobs found on the Jobs board will indicate if they qualify for 399R or 496R credit. However, jobs will still need to be approved through the application process. Qualifying for 399R or 496R credit may be subject to change.
  3. If you have any questions, please reach out to our office or visit one of the links below. Email: comms_internship@byu.edu
