Internship Opportunities

Be Market Ready

The Writing & Publishing major will provide you with a depth and breadth of marketable skills that will give you impressive flexibility in a changing industry. You'll begin honing your skills and building your expertise in the field in your first semester, so you'll quickly build the qualifications you'll need for an internship.

Writing & Publishing students take at least one for-credit internship, and many take on two or three or more throughout their college careers. You'll gain hands-on, professional experience in fields as divergent as digital media writing, marketing, business, web writing, press releases, profile writing, journalism, and politics.
