English 622 is where students test what they've learned in English 620 and 621. The students’ interests lead the way in locating an appropriate internship. In the past, students have interned (15-20 hours per week during the semester) with printers, small presses, or companies and corporations with publishing units. They have interned with, among others, Oxford University Press (Cary, NC), Wake Forest University Press, and Blair Press.
