Current and Past Student Internships

Students can gain valuable professional practice in internships to prepare for their After Mary Washington futures.

Each semester and in summer, the Department of English and Linguistics offers juniors and seniors the opportunity to design applied learning opportunities by working with organizations and working in close collaboration with sponsoring faculty.
