Internships

English majors and minors who are interested in completing an internship for academic credit should fill out the ENGL 484: Internship Application and make an appointment with Dr. Apostolos Vasilakis, Director of Undergraduate Studies in English, for approval.

Both forms must be submitted to the Director of Undergraduate Studies in English prior to the deadline, or the student will be issued an Unsatisfactory grade.
