A Taste of the Real World! Interns Co-ops. Several departments on campus pro- vide their students with an opportunity to intern or co-op. The School of Technol- ogy offers a co-op plan on an optional basis to technology majors and minors. Technology students get a taste of what their careers will entail. They may also earn money to cover educational ex- penses. To qualify for the program, can- didates must have earned 45 quarter hours toward their major and have a 2.5 GPA. According to J. Donald Hawk, Depart- ment Head of Prof. Lab Experience, ap- proximately 300 students during any giv- en year are involved in student teaching.

It ' s fairly common for students to land the businesses they interned for, then with other corporations looking for a little experience. Interning is optional for Journalism ma- jors but required for Broadcasting and Public Relations majors. Most Communi- cation Arts interns do not receive a sala- ry. They do earn 15 hours of credit though. GSC has contracts with 45 PR jobs shortly after graduation if not with sites and 20 Broadcasting.
