Advanced student journalists and photographers spent thirteen days visiting the cities of Bac Kan, Hanoi, Vinh Phuc and Ha Long Bay. This is one example of the many opportunities available to students who want a 'hands on learning experience' where they put theory into practice.

Internships

A wide variety of student internships are available throughout Southern California. In the Department of Communications and Radio-TV-Film, students are required to complete an internship course as the culminating undergraduate experience. The Speech Communication internship is not required and usually taken in the senior year.
The departments have always recognized the beneficial attributes of an internship. Students intern at sites in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, as well as at national and international sites. Examples of internship sites include newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations, public relations and advertising agencies, health-related institutions, nonprofit organizations, film production companies, publishers, education offices, high-tech industries, and cities and businesses with communications needs. In addition, hotels, entertainment companies, fashion industries, and more others regularly host our interns.
