The English Department Internship Program

What a student will do with their degree in English after graduation is often the source of comedians' jokes, parents' concern, and students' confusion but in fact employers know that the ability to think analytically and express yourself lucidly are eminently marketable skills.  Contrary to popular opinion, the options for graduates with a degree in English are various and many. You may well be surprised at the range and variety of career fields that welcome prospective hires with the demonstrated ability to analyze, organize, and clearly express their ideas in writing.

Or perhaps you're already well aware of the value of your skills and have set clear goals for your future but now you're looking for a way to enhance your resume and give yourself that step up in the search for your first job?

Either way, Rhet 495 The English Department Internship Program could be among the most important classes of your academic career, providing you with practical knowledge, "real world" experience, and invaluable contacts.
