Each semester, our seniors take English 494: English Internship to gain practical experience in applying their English major knowledge and skills in actual work environments. Over the years, students have interned in the writing, research, drama, and literature fields, at such sites as newspapers, public relations offices, schools, assisting scholars on research projects, non-profit organizations, government agencies, theaters, literary magazines, and many other professional contexts.
It’s an invaluable opportunity to our students to be able to provide help in the day-to-day operations of an organization and learn a bit about that field. For those organizations that take our interns, they get a little extra help—at no cost to their organization—and another set of hands on deck.
