In the course of investigating internships and pursuing opportunities, students should consider what their individual learning goals are, and how the internship activities they are exploring would assist them in meeting those goals. Students wishing to earn internship credit must file an Internship Learning Contract with the advising office and have that contract approved by an English adviser. Students who are not English majors may earn internship credit through GEN ST 350 with the Carlson Leadership and Public Service Office , or through their own academic major departments. These internships provide course credit through ENGL 491, and are generally unpaid. Regular employment positions are not eligible for internship credit.
Credits are determined according to the hours of internship service.
Internship credits do not apply to the 60 English credits required for graduation with an English major. These credits may be used as general electives only. This includes the steps outlined below as well as an interview with your sponsoring organization.

Advisers can assist you in making initial contact with a prospective supervisor, if appropriate, but it is your responsibility to secure the internship.
