Preparing Undergraduates for Careers: An Argument for the Intership Practicum

Jennifer Bay

Abstract

Traditionally, college English departments have resisted granting undergraduate internships a central place in their curricula. Many of these departments do little more than allow students to pursue internships as loosely supervised independent studies. An internship practicum course such as Purdue University’s, however, enables students to reflect together on their internships, thereby helping them understand, critique, and act upon the institutional cultures they have momentarily joined.
