portfolio to the Review Committee or retake the Senior Portfolio course (if the grade requires such). Also as part of the graduation requirements as well as the Senior Portfolio course, students will prepare and submit a proposal to be approved for a public presentation (most likely at the department Summit) on a topic of expertise they have developed during their time as a student. Timing of the portfolio review and public presentation is the semester before graduating (typically Fall semester of the senior year in a normal four-year undergraduate cycle). For December graduates, the review will take place during Spring semester. Traditional students should schedule a preliminary portfolio review with their academic advisor at the end of five semesters to plan successful completion of the portfolio review and presentation. Transfer students should schedule a preliminary portfolio review after two semesters. Scheduling of the Senior Portfolio review and public presentation will be completed as part of the Senior Portfolio course requirements. Any exception to this plan must be approved by the full-time faculty. Internship Internship, comprising a total of 3 credits, is required for graduation in the Journalism and Integrated Media major. Students will complete the 1- credit course, JOUR 344 Media and PR Internship, as well as the 2-credit course, JOUR 444 Advanced Internship & Career Preparation. Students may take JOUR 344 multiple times to complete more internships for credit. Students, guided by their academic advisor, are encouraged to pursue other (non-credit) internships to gain as much hands-on experience as possible before their senior year. Students must take the internship courses as ordered by prerequisites, but internships (for credit or for non-credit) may be completed any semester or during the Summer under supervision of department faculty, guided by stipulations of the Internship packet. No more than 6 credits of Internship may be applied toward major requirements. Total directed research and special topic workshop credits may not exceed 9 credits. Curriculum Requirements All Journalism and Integrated Media majors must achieve a minimum grade of ’C’ in all major courses taken at Biola. Anyone receiving a lower grade must repeat the course and earn a ’C’ or better. The total number of credits for major area credit from internship and directed research may not exceed 9 credits.
