Internships and Independent Study
The Department of English offers academic and financial support, internships, advising and more to make the student experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
The process for declaring a major is as follows:
Many English majors spend a semester or more abroad, usually as juniors, and many venture outside England. Australia, Edinburgh and Dublin are increasingly popular destinations, and some students have studied in Anglophone Africa. Because we count the literatures of other languages as major electives, English majors have also enjoyed study abroad in France, Italy and other countries.
Visit the GW Study Abroad Office for more information.
Each year, the Department of English awards multiple departmental prizes and honors to graduating seniors who have demonstrated academic excellence in their pursuit of the English or Creative Writing major. Prizes are also awarded to undergraduate students with the best creative works in poetry, drama, playwriting and literature.
The E-Major listserv is a source of important announcements and information relevant to the department.
