Dr. Schmisseur will occasionally send out internship postings that come directly to the department through alumni. However, the best place to find an internship is through Belmont’s Career & Professional Development. You can sign up for a Handshake account that will enable you to find internships and jobs. You can also schedule an appointment with Rachel Walden Griffin, the career specialist for Communication Studies and Corporate Communication majors through Handshake.
