Checksheets in the Major

Here are the checksheets for each year beginning with 2005.

COMS 496ABC and 497 Internships

If you are considering an internship for academic credit, you have a choice between COMS 496ABC and COMS 497. The documents and forms below will describe requirements for the internships and guide you in securing the appropriate approval from coordinators, advisors, and sponsors.

If you and a faculty member have discussed completing an independent study under COMS 498, the form you need to complete is listed below. This form must be completed by you, submitted to the supervising faculty member in COMS for review, signed by both of you, then copied to the Undergraduate Director for the files.

The Minor in COMS

The Minor in Communication Studies was revised several years ago. If you are going to add the minor to your program, please be sure it is from the 2007-08 or 2008-09 catalogs and matches the information in the checksheet below. Students interested in adding the minor should go to their major college and speak to a student services staff member; majors in the School of Communication Studies cannot minor in COMS. Students minoring in COMS do not have an advisor in Communication Studies.
