Minor Recommendations

If you are an Arts and Sciences major, consider taking a complementary minor to give you a second concentration that you may find a helpful credential in searching for employment after you graduate. Minors chosen by English majors in the past include foreign language, women's studies, theater, business, communication studies, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and political science. Many others are available.


Internships

Students with 60 or more hours completed should consider an internship. Opportunities exist in the University Writing Center, in a variety of other campus and town locations, as well as in Harrisburg and neighboring communities, and this "real world" experience is a valuable credential in life after Bloomsburg. See Dr. Gulley for further information, or visit the Internships Office in the Student Services Center.

English Internships provide academic credit for experience both within the university and in the community. English majors have in past years found internship opportunities at the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble, the Town Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, and at the University Development Office. Prerequisite: completion of 60 credit hours. Dr. Gulley is the English Department Internship Coordinator, and will assist students in finding internships suitable to their interests.

The Department of English offers an internship with the University Writing Center. Internships for tutoring in the Writing Center are available to students in any major who are superior writers and communicators. Training is provided, so no previous tutoring experience is necessary. If you are interested, contact Dr. Purdy, Writing Center Director.
