Lynchburg College alumni who majored in English are currently working in law, publishing, business, finance, and many other areas. The knowledge and skills you learn as an English major will serve you in a variety of careers. An internship will give you experience in a job which you may want to pursue after graduation. Also it gives you an opportunity to practice and demonstrate qualities that employers are looking for. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is usually required of students doing internships.
Internships usually earn credit hours, but some internships are paying.
You can choose to do more than one internship. Yes, you can. To study abroad you must first contact the Academic Advisor in charge of international schools to see if you are eligible. Then you must see your English Advisor to discuss the courses you will take abroad that can be used to fulfill English requirements or General Education requirements here at the College. To learn about graduate schools contact Dr. Richard Burke, the Department of English's Coordinator of the M.Ed.
