English Internship Program

Internships are extremely important for students pursuing careers related to English studies. Our internships provide English majors with practical career opportunities in venues that allow them to apply skills learned in the classroom. The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters at Florida Atlantic University has developed a diverse internship program that allows students to gain practical experience in a wide range of settings.

English Internship Experience

Christian Cabrera

Christian Cabrera, Senior

My internship at HCI Books was a remarkably insightful experience into the world of publishing. Interning at HCI granted me the opportunity to exercise my English degree in the real world.  I am extremely grateful to the Department of English for puttting together such a helpful and amazing internship program to get students to not only realize the practical ways in which their English degree can work for them but, also to recognize its strength in the real world. This was a wonderful learning experience and I would recommend it to any and all English majors to pursue if they wish to take their degree to the  next level.  Thank you Shantelle Maxwell and Dr. Martin for making this great opportunity available.

FAU's Department of English Internship Program allowed me to gain hands on experience.  I did an internship at O2 Media, a television production company located in Deerfield Beach, FL.  I enjoyed my semester-long internship! I never knew that I could learn so much outside of the classroom!  I'm very thankful for the opportunity and would encourage any student who is eager to build their resume to seek an internship through the Department of English.
