Before You Begin: Required Preparation Steps
- Meet with your academic advisor to discuss how internship credits apply toward your degree and graduation track.
- Secure an internship opportunity.
- For personalized help finding opportunities, please contact Alyvia Meyer.
- You may also search available postings on our Find Internships page.
- Secure an ENGL faculty mentor to guide you throughout your internship (this faculty
member will also serve as your internship course instructor).
- If your internship is with English Journals/Publications (e.g., Essais, Touchstones, Warp & Weave), your faculty mentor is the respective publication's faculty advisor.
- Important: If a professor is serving as your internship site supervisor, you must select a different ENGL professor as your faculty mentor. The site supervisor oversees internship duties;
the faculty mentor oversees the academic/course portion.
- Complete the Internship Orientation.
- Important: Save your completion code (displayed on-screen and emailed to you). You'll need it
for the application.
- Prepare the following information (required for the application form):
- Name and address of the internship provider/company
- Internship site supervisor's name, email, and phone number (this is the person who
will mentor you on-site)
- Average number of hours you will work per week
- Submit your application using the correct button below (choose based on your internship
type).
- The form (hosted on Qualtrics) takes about 15–20 minutes if you have your information
ready.

by email.
