Internships in English

Earn 3 hrs. of 4000-level English credit in an internship that enhances the skills at the core of the major and leads to post-degree employment. Relevant kinds of work include writing for print or digital media, publishing, editing, marketing, radio and television broadcasting, event planning, and teaching. These for-credit, nonpaying internships offer valuable experience, training, and references and are an excellent way to discover how you can use your English major after graduation.

 Over the course of the semester, the intern works at least 120 hours (8 hours per week), is supervised both on site and within the English Department, and completes a final portfolio that includes a work log, final report, and work samples.
