We recognize that there are many wonderful career paths for graduate students outside of being a professor. In the 21st century, students in the humanities should be open to opportunities that will arise in unforeseen areas.

We have a robust and unique internship program that places graduate students with sponsors where they work and are mentored in wide-ranging career opportunities. In recent years, our students have gone on to work in industry, nonprofits, publishing, education, and the federal government.
