English Studies Internships

You can earn elective credit toward fulfillment of senior hours in English while gaining professional work experience through the English Studies Internship program. Internship credit can also fulfill other elective requirements toward graduation. Discuss what would work in your own case with your English advisor.

Internships are available in such fields as technical writing, publishing, editing, public relations, broadcasting, law, and library science. You can list internship experience on your resume under work experience. To qualify for an internship you must be at least a junior majoring or minoring in English. It's best to begin planning for an internship at least a  semester in advance.

The English Studies Internship, ENG 398 for undergraduates, ENG 498 for graduates, is offered every semester, fall, spring, and summer. Internship credit is determined by the number of hours you work onsite in the internship. You can earn 3 to 12 credit hours in a semester, depending on the number of hours you work in the semester. Credit hours are earned at the rate of 48 hours of work per credit hour.
