April 15, 2008 is the Deadline for Public Relations Internship Applications for Credit during Summer and Fall 2008.

To earn credit for an internship, you traditionally need to be of junior and good standing, have secured a specific public relations internship post where you will do professional public relations work, and then complete and submit the application. Once approved, interns are allowed to register for academic credit. In general, to earn 3 s.h. of credit, a student needs 120-150 hours of professional level internship work.
