Internships for Media and Communications Students

What can you do with a B.A. in English? Almost anything! Once a major reserved for English teachers and professors, many great careers rely on the ability to communicate.

This has made the demand for English, Journalism and Communication majors spike in the past few decades, and the number of students declaring these majors has similarly risen.

Of course, all of these readers and writers have similarly upped the competition for high profile internships at magazines, newspapers and publishing houses. While there are a few internships that serve as the gold standard for literary-minded interns, the flexibility of the English major allows potential internships to think out side of the box. The following pages feature five traditional internship programs for English majors, followed by five "alternative" internships that can also hone your communication skills, as well as make you stand out to your future employer.
