Internships can begin at any time and may extend over more than one semester. Summer internships are especially appealing to students. The number of contact hours per week varies. Internships may be taken for credit or for no credit. To qualify for credit, your internship must involve primarily writing, editing, research, training, or some combination of these.
Credit is variable depending on the number of hours worked and the nature of the work.
For credit internships, an English department Internship Coordinator will monitor your progress and provide you with help and feedback . Minimum requirements include an internship journal, a progress report, and a final report with samples of work produced during your internship. Some internships are paid, and some are not. It is quite common for interns to receive both credit and pay. For more information visit the English Internship Page .
