Internships
General Information

Internships provide students opportunities for experience in a wide range of work-place settings. All English majors are encouraged to participate in an internship experience, and students enrolled in any of our Technical/Professional Writing Programs are required to complete an internship. 

Internship opportunities are available with a variety of corporate, non-profit, and government agencies. Our site list provides a list of places where our students have had successful internship experiences in the past. Each semester, we get inquiries from additional employers, and add those to the list. But you are not limited to this list.

Approach the internship search just as you would a job search, with a clear idea of the kind of language-based work you would like to do (browsing the list will help). Have an updated resume ready, references identified, and with the help of the internship coordinator, approach the prospective internship supervisor about an interview.

Frequently asked questions gives answers to those questions most asked including how to apply for an internship and how to choose a location.  Additional information can be obtained from the Internship Coordinator .
