EARNING ACADEMIC CREDIT,
GAINING WORK EXPERIENCE
The Department of English offers a number of Internships
every semester. Interns receive careful supervision by an Internship
Mentor in the job setting and by the Faculty Internship Coordinator
in the English Department. Students earn 3 units of upper-division
or graduate credit, depending upon class standing.
Internships provide opportunities to explore your
chosen professional field. By learning and experiencing the
day-to-day responsibilities and demands of the job, an internship
will help you determine if the profession is indeed a good fit
for you.
Read what some of our past Interns have reported
about their experience:
Ian reported:
"...at CalPERS I have been able to do work that I feel proud
of doing."
Danielle reported:
"...this internship has been an incredibly valuable experience…
researching and writing about terrorism in my internship work
was an extension of coursework in Humanities 110, but on a
more profound level."
Luci reported:
"my internship has really broadened by idea of what it means
to be an educator."
Mandy reported:
"This internship gave me my first experience in the world
of publishing, a world that I had absolulely no familiarity
with. It was the best experience I have had and I am glad
that I have ha the opportunity."
Katie reported:
"Many things I wouldn't do over again and many things I truly
enjoyed, but above all I consider my internship [with a literary
agency] to be one of the most influential experiences of my
college career."
Stephanie reported:
"[The article I wrote] recieved a response back from Marie
Claire magazine! I am very excited about the entire process."
It is imperative that students contact the Faculty
Internship Coordinator immediately after signing up for 195C
