Internships

OKC downtownStudents at Oklahoma Christian University are able to intern in media outlets in Oklahoma City, the 40th-largest media market in the country, and get college credit for the experience. Studying media in a big market makes good sense, as the contacts you make through internships are often the first leads you have for a job after graduation.

In recent semesters, OC students have interned locally at the following locations:

Jordan Associates advertising agency

The Gooden Group

Six Flags Over America corporate headquarters

The Oklahoma Redhawks baseball team

The Oklahoman newspaper

The Edmond Sun newspaper

KFOR-TV, Channel 4, an NBC affiliate owned by the New York Times

KOCO-TV, Channel 5, an ABC affilliate owned by the Gannett Corporation

KWTV-TV, Channel 9, a CBS affiliate

Oklahoma Arts Institute

Government Information Technologies, an Oklahoma City capitol reporting consortium

In addition, OC students have earned summer credit in Washington, D.C., through the Coalition of Christian Colleges and Universites, and in Asheville, N.C., through the World Journalism Institute. Other summer internships outside the Oklahoma City metro area have included WFAA-TV in Dallas, WGXA-TV in Macon, Ga., KJBJ Radio in Houston, Phillips Productions in Dallas, and Southwest Airlines corporate headquarters.
