Internships

Westminster College offers a centralized Internship Program through the Office of Career Services that encourages students to take advantage of experiential learning opportunities on and off campus.  Internships allow students to earn academic credit while undertaking planned, professionally supervised work experiences related to their on-campus academic programs and career interests.

Writing Program

The Writing Across the Curriculum Program encourages the teaching of writing in courses in a variety of disciplines.  In courses designated Writing Intensive, students use writing as a means of learning course material, and study and practice writing that uses the conventions and expectations of a specific discipline.  Instructors ask students to produce some type of reflection activity, such as a draft of a paper, and hold individual conferences with the student to discuss it.
