To arrange an internship, you will need to work both with the ELS Department and with the office of Career Services in George Washington Hall. You can begin by talking with a member of the ELS faculty who has supervised internships or by reviewing the enormous list of possibilities in Career Services. The ELS Department has established the following rules and guidelines regarding internships sponsored by the department. These supplement those issued by Career Services.
Internships are open only to juniors and seniors.
Only three credits of ENGL 499 can count toward the English major. The content of the internship must be appropriate to sponsorship by the ELS Department. The internship must provide the student with a significant learning experience. The faculty member sponsoring the internship must have competency in the subject matter of the internship. The proposal must be approved by the faculty sponsor, the departmental committee on internships, and the office of Career Services.
