The NMSU English Department offers an internship program to its graduate and advanced undergraduate students in all areas of concentration, who seek hands-on experience preparing for careers involving web design, document design and development, grant and proposal writing, technical writing, marketing, creative writing, legal work, advocacy, nonprofit work, translation, and other skills of interest for your career goals. Internships helps students hone and enhance their workplace skills on-site and under the direction of a supervisor. Remote internships are also available.

Typically interns enroll in ENGL 4/597, which enables you to earn course credit for your internship and to participate in brief online coursework aimed at deepening the on-site experience. Internship Coordinator Justine Wells oversees the online course and will assist students in identifying internship opportunities and securing a placement suited to their skills and career goals.
