To intern with 22 West Media, you must be a current student enrolled in an approved internship course for your major. Please ensure that you are registered for the appropriate course (e.g., CBA 493, KIN 494, CINE 492, JOUR 498, ART 442, COMM 492A) upon applying for internships. This helps ensure you receive deadline sensitive information from the internship course instructor regarding course requirements; it is easier to drop the course than it is to add it.
