Schieffer School of Journalism

Internships/jobs

Nothing looks better on a journalism school graduate’s resume than professional work experience.

That’s why we at the Schieffer School encourage all our students to invest their time and energy in a professional internship before graduation. And that’s also why we’re so grateful to the professionals who share their workplaces and wisdom with our majors to give them the kind of learning experience not found in a classroom.

Internships are invaluable for all our majors: Advertising/Public Relations, News-Editorial and Broadcast Journalism. Academic credit is available for those who qualify.

For students: what you need to know about internships

There are usually far more openings for interns than students to fill them. Check the listings on the bulletin boards inside the Schieffer School.

Internship/Job Openings (CLICK HERE!)

The Schieffer School attempts to keep the most current listings of internships/jobs and to delete the internships/jobs that have been filled. However, employers do not always notify the school that positions are filled, so we cannot guarantee that the positions listed here are still open. If you contact a placement that no longer has an opening, please email the journalism Webmaster at journalism@tcu.edu and let us know that the job is no longer available.
