Marketing and Communications Internship

THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS INTERNSHIPS FOR FALL 2023 ARE NOW OPEN

Positions Available: One broadcasting/digital media internship. One videographer/editing internship specific for WSU ROAR. [Our PR/strat comm intern has already been hired.] 

Objective: We pay you. We mentor you within your field. We get your great work in return.

Kudos: We’ll pat ourselves on the back. We began our internship program in 2015. In the seven years that have followed, we have consistently made sure our interns have a valuable experience and build their portfolio. Our interns have been able to get immediate job placement: PR firms in Seattle, the Seattle Seahawks, school districts, real estate firm, boutique PR, a city on the westside. If you work hard, we set you up to succeed! Don’t take our word for it, though!

About the College of Education:

The College of Education is one of WSU’s oldest colleges, with its first dean taking the helm in 1918. Since that time, COE has been known primarily as a teaching and learning college, as well as an educational leadership college. The majority of certified K-12 superintendents in Washington, in fact, earned their certification through COE.

However, COE is very much a modern college, with degrees in athletic training, kinesiology, and sport management. In fact, our undergraduate kinesiology degree is one of the largest degrees, by enrollment.
