Information for Students - Internships

Contact Dr. Zita McShane, Internship Coordinator, for further information and application forms.

English internships and work experiences for academic credit (3-15 credits), as well as Field Experiences in Writing (3 credits), give our majors a significant advantage in a competitive job market. With a major in English, you benefit from a curriculum that provides instruction in various kinds of professional writing (for example, technical writing, business writing, and journalistic writing) as well as in literature. Moreover, the internships and the work or field experiences give you a proving ground for the skills developed in your academic work. Thus you can graduate having a related, high-powered working experience already as part of your credentials for employment in various fields in government, business, industry, publications, public relations, and media.
