Internships
Majors, minors, and graduate students in Professional and Technical Writing are encouraged to supplement their coursework with writing experience in workplace settings.
Many workplace internship opportunities are available each semester. If you are accepted for an internship, you can earn three hours of credit toward your major, minor, or master’s degree by registering for RHET 4191/4291 (for undergrads) or RHET 7360 (for grads). Some internships also pay students an hourly wage or a stipend upon completion of the semester.
