University Marketing and Communication (MARCOMM) at Arkansas Tech University has partnered with the Office of Academic Affairs to create new academic advertising, promotion and marketing internships for ATU students.
The internships are designed to provide sophomores and juniors in good academic standing with access to professional experiences related to careers in public relations, new media, social media, web development, graphic design, advertising and marketing.
Interns will work alongside MARCOMM staff members on projects designed to increase awareness of the university and its academic programs.
Internship hours will vary from one to three credit hours. Students will be required to complete no fewer than 45 hours of internship work for each credit hour.
The Office of Academic Affairs will provide funding to cover the tuition for internship hours taken by students as part of the program. The number of internships available in a given semester will be based upon the availability of funds.
Internships will be available beginning with the second half of the spring 2017 semester. Students interested in applying for the academic advertising, promotion and marketing internships may contact the Department of Communication and Journalism in the Energy Center.
