The department strongly encourages students to participate in internships.

Some programs, like Journalism, require an internship for graduation.

While the department cannot promise to find you an internship, faculty members have strong ties to the professional community in Detroit. Many internships are unpaid, but Wayne State allows students to earn credit and a salary during an internship.

To learn more about completing an internship for credit, refer to our internship forms on our internship page.

To browse internships (or full and part time positions) that have been sent to our department, refer to our department's blog.

To request an override to join a class:

1. First, you will need to ask the professor (either in person or via email) of the course you are interested in if they will allow you permission into that section.

2. If the professor can allow you into the class, they will forward their written approval directly to communication@wayne.edu where it will be processed as soon as possible.

3. When that is complete, you will be sent an email informing you that you can register for the class.
