Graduate Student Internships

The department has launched a new internship fellowship program to encourage our doctoral students in Comparative Literature to expand their academic skills and explore opportunities for engaged learning, connecting the university to the world. Students may earn academic credit by connecting their internships to mini-courses, and they have the flexibility to propose internships as capstone projects in graduate certificate programs.

These are their experiences.
