Internships
The internship experience provides students with necessary “real world” experience and helps them build professional portfolios. Some students opt to do internships for college credit while others do internships in addition to their coursework. Many of our students even do multiple internships. Recently, many of our students have been placed on paid internships. Students interested in participating in an internship and businesses or publications interested in working with Fitchburg State University English Studies interns should contact Dr. Aruna Krishnamurthy.
