We welcome you to contact us to discuss a range of opportunities to provide career, programmatic, and financial support to our students and our faculty. Providing internships and job placements We are a professional school with three undergraduate programs (communication, journalism and media studies, and information technology and informatics), two master’s programs (communication and information studies, and library and information science), a continuing professional education program, and a doctoral program. Internships: Our students at the undergraduate and master's levels are encouraged to complete internships, especially if they have no formal work experience in their chosen fields. Interns work under the supervision of qualified professionals in your workplace, typically completing 150 hours during a given semester. They bring you enthusiasm and a fresh perspective, and you offer them the opportunity to learn the ropes. If you are interested in offering internships for our students, please contact our Student Services office at 732-932-7500 (for undergraduate programs use ext. 8100 or ext. 8150; for graduate programs use ext. 8200 or ext. 8270).Job placements: SCILS sponsors a Placement website where you can post job opportunities that would be appropriate for graduating students and professionals working in fields related to SCILS curricula. Just visit http://scils.rutgers.edu/placement and select Post a Job.Career advising: The fourteen SCILS student organizations are always interested in hosting experienced professionals who are willing to speak with them about career development in their fields – advice about courses to take, strategies for job hunting, interviewing techniques, and navigating a successful career path. To get in touch with an appropriate student leader to volunteer your time, contact Associate Dean Karen Novick at knovick@rutgers.edu.Attending public eventsIn a typical semester SCILS has dozens of guest speakers, dissertation and research presentations, and other colloquia which may be of interest to you.
