Applying for an Internship
Not sure yet want you want to do with your degree? Does your career trajectory require some on-the-job training? The English Department's Internship Program can help you in defining and reaching goals.
ENG 350
Taught by the internship coordinator, the face-to-face portion of the course offers a space to address workplace experiences, issues, and unusual situations with the instructor and peers. Students reflect on assigned readings, job search tactics, career paths, and learn from guest speakers. Interns leave ENG 350 with a fully developed portfolio to showcase their best work.
This is your opportunity to find out what you like and don’t like. Take advantage of this time and get the most out of what your internship has to offer.
