Communications is a broad field.  Students go into a wide variety of careers with a communications-related degree.  Below, we've divided the internship listings into two different areas: Public  Relations and Broadcasting, though there are other areas.

The inclusion of this information should not be construed as an endorsement of any organization. Applicants are strongly encouraged to research all employers. If you experience difficulty linking to any of these sites, please email internship@westminster-mo.edu.

Suggestions for additional sites are welcomed.  Remember, you can always find current internship and job opportunities on our e-recruiting system.  We always recommend students meet with the Internship Coordinator (set an appointment by emailing internship@westminster-mo.edu) to learn more about finding the right internship.
