JMU English Internship Program: Official Website

The English Department Internship Program began in 1998 as a way to provide English majors with valuable experience in a variety of different careers.  Approximately 30 students per year take advantage of this program which places freshmen through seniors in many different positions both in the Harrisonburg area and across the country and even internationally.  A list of internships our students have completed since 1998 can be viewed on the official internship website (click on the link below).  The site contains a wealth of information about the program and links to valuable career planning and internship sites.
