The time you spend in classes at Wheeling Jesuit is very beneficial, but at the same time, we recognize the many other ways of helping students learn through outside resources such as internships. When you take what you learn in the classroom and apply it to real life, you are getting a truly dynamic education. Outside learning helps you connect what you read in books and learn from professors with what you'll be doing after graduation.
Internships take the abstract and make it tangible.
Plus, many graduates accept job offers where they interned as students. In fact, most English majors secure jobs before they graduate from Wheeling Jesuit. Others go on to further their education in graduate school. Past English majors have experienced a great variety of internships that demonstrate the versatility of the program. Any student in the Department of English, Communication, and Fine Arts interested in obtaining an internship is encouraged to do so.
