Internships
About
The Department of English offers internships for Tampa-based, degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students. The internships consist of supervised work-and-learning experience under the direction of a university faculty member and an employee of a participating sponsor organization. Local Tampa Bay businesses and organizations sponsoring students direct and counsel the intern in an on-the-job context.
The internship is an option for all students in the English and professional and technical communication majors. Internships may be available to qualified non-majors with program and department approval.
