Questions and Answers

Q: What's the difference between an internship with Phlash TV and being an Org Member?
A: Interns make a commitment to a certain number of hours a week (usually 10-15) and to stay with Phlash TV for one semester or longer.  An Org Member has no specific commitment to the group, but typically spends 2-6 hours a week on Phlash TV activities.  Many Org Members decide in future semesters to get further involved with internship positions.

Q: Does my major allow me to get internship credits?
A: It depends on several factors.  You will need to talk to your faculty advisor about whether or not they will allow you to earn internship credits.  You are still welcome to fill an "internship" position even if you can't get academic credit for it, provided you agree to fulfill the duties of the position.

Typical majors/minors of our interns include, but are not limited to:  Communication, Design Arts, Business, Arts Management,  and Communication and the Arts.
