English Internship

English Internship is a practical course supplying English majors with hands-on experience in a work environment. Students gain experience in a supervised work setting related to the student's area of interest. Internships include government, non-profit, small businesses, newspapers, publishing, education, advertising, and other settings. Students must successfully complete 150 hours of practical experience in an approved internship site. Students may find their own placements, or seek help from the Career Services Office. Internships will include a significant writing component and may include writing in social media, marketing, websites, emails, letters, documents, reports, and creative expression. During the one hour of lecture time each week, students share internship experiences and the professor covers writing styles appropriate to various settings.
