Our vibrant community extends learning well beyond the classroom through such experiences as the annual Undergraduate Literary Conference and offers opportunities to work alongside professors as a co-researcher in the SURE program or as a teaching apprentice. We also offer direct work training in internships at a wide variety of workplaces that value an English major’s many skills – from newspapers and magazines to television stations and theater companies to law firms and marketing agencies.

The single most valuable experience of my Stonehill College career was my internship with the Corporate Relations team at Carnegie Hall. During my semester in New York City, not only did I learn what a development department did, I also figured out what I wanted to do after graduation, and most importantly, I found a goal and the courage to blaze a path to pursue it
