Internships
Internships are a great way to get academic credit while exploring vocational paths or discerning if a “dream job” is the right one for you. There are many opportunities on campus, in Greensboro, and farther afield–and we strongly encourage all majors to undertake one before graduating.
Past internships:
- local publishing firm
- independent filmmakers in San Francisco and Los Angeles
- Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.
- international media group (while attending Guilford’s study abroad London program)
- community arts organizations
- partnering with Guilford professors (conducting research or teaching, to prepare for graduate school)
Research
English majors are encouraged to embark on individual and/or group research projects to gain in-depth understanding of a subject of interest. Each year students have the opportunity to present these projects at the Guilford Undergraduate Symposium (GUS).
