COMM 390

A practicum is a specialized study under the supervision of a faculty member and is considered an honorary program. Taking a practicum is a great way to build resume credentials and portfolio materials, in addition to furthering your knowledge within a particular area of interest. It is an opportunity with credit for students to make contributions to department and campus media-related facilities and offices including WIUP-TV, WIUP-FM, Penn, Oak, Public Relations, and Media Resources.

Dr. Lamberski sponsors several practicums a semester and offers a wide array of areas in which to focus. He typically only reserves practicum sponsorships for students with a 3.0+ overall grade point average (exceptions will be made), a strong work ethic, an excellent attitude, and ability to work independently.

Practicums are offered as 1, 2, or 3 credits per semester. Usually for each practicum credit, you will log 5-6 hours of service per week, per credit, during the semester. A maximum of 6 practicum credits can be used with a 120-credit degree program.

NOTE: The total number of practicum credits and internship credits a student can apply toward their 120 credit degree cannot equal more than 15 credits. Additional practicum or internship credits must be in excess of the 120 credits.
