Internship Oppurtunities
Your
Bridge Connecting the University and a Career
As you register for courses
for the academic year 2007-2008, consider taking an internship.
 Nationwide,
employers emphasize the importance of internships; indeed, a significant
number of employers--34%--report that they specifically look for
internship experience on the resume of job applicants. And a letter of
recommendation from the supervisor of your internship can be invaluable
in landing the job you want.
Towson offers many wonderful internship opportunities with magazines,
publishing houses, newspapers, public relations firms, and businesses.
Each will give you a chance to discover the practical application of the
skills you've acquired in writing, critical thinking, editing, oral
communication, literary analysis, and research.
The English Department offers two different internships. ENGL 497
(Internship) is appropriate for all students. It is graded
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. (ENGL 497 was formerly ENGL 498). ENGL 498
(Internship as Capstone) is a new course designed to meet the capstone
requirement of the new English major requirements. It uses regular (A-F)
grading and requires completion of your English major assessment
portfolio.
