Internships

A student who achieves a 3.0 GPA and with special permission may elect an internship/field experience course, when available. The internship includes 135 hours of training at an outside communications facility. Students are awarded three credits upon completion and will be graded on ability, determination and interest.

At NESCom we place a high priority on providing students with an opportunity for gaining professional experience while in school. Internships, unpaid work experiences for which academic credit is earned, can be arranged for Bachelor Degree students entering their junior or senior year. Internships require both a minimum grade point average and a faculty recommendation.
