Writing and Editing Internship
Our students can connect with exciting internship opportunities as English majors. Typically two or three of our majors or writing minors travel to London each year, where they intern with public relations firms, publishing houses, and professional organizations. Students might alternately serve as Editorial Interns for Issues in Writing, a nationally-recognized scholarly journal published by our department that features articles on writing in Education, Business and Industry, Science and Technology, Government, and the Arts and Humanities. The student editors are directly involved in the process of editing, publishing, and distributing an academic journal. Finally, four to six students per year opt to become Biomedical Writing Interns with the Office of Scientific Writing and Publication at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation and so gain valuable experience and training in scientific/biomedical writing.
Community Internship
Juniors and seniors may work as writing interns throughout central Wisconsin primarily at city newspapers and publishing houses. UW-Stevens Point has regular internship placements with the Portage County Literacy Council and with Midwest Review magazine.
History Internship
History students have the opportunities to participate in university archives and museum internships and public history projects through local historical societies in Wisconsin and the university archives. In addition, the International Studies office has placed history students at internships at the British Museum, the Institute for Historical Research and the Courtauld Institute of Art at the University of London. Many of our students also participate in semester abroad programs and international internships. For more information, please contact the Office of International Programs.
