  • 76 301: Internship

    3.00 - 12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course is designed to help you explore possible writing-related careers as you gain workplace experience and earn academic credit. You?ll work on- or off- campus as an entry-level professional for 8-10 hours per week in a field of interest to you. You might, for example, intern with a local newspaper or magazine or radio or TV station, work for a publisher or political campaign, or do research and promotions for a non-profit agency associated with a cause you feel strongly about. Other possibilities include local hospitals, museums, theatre and other arts groups, software documentation firms and other groups needing technical writers and communications specialists, PR and ad agencies, law-related sites, and just about any place you can think of that requires writing and communication skills. Most of your class time for the course will be completed through work at your internship site ? a minimum of 120 hours (8-10 per week) over the semester for 9 units of credit. As the academic component of the course, you?ll keep a reflective journal, do some related research and short writing assignments, and meet periodically with the internship coordinator to discuss you internship and related professional issues. The first step is to contact the instructor to set up a time to talk about your interests and what opportunities are open to you. You should do this before registration week so we have time to make necessary arrangements.

  • 76 303: Independent Study in Creative Writing

    3.00 - 18.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    An Independent Study course is a course taken with faculty supervision that goes beyond the courses offered in a particular area of interest. It should not duplicate a course offered in the regular schedule of classes. A student wishing to take an independent study needs to locate a faculty member whose research interests are close to the area of proposed study and meet with the faculty member to discuss whether it is something the faculty member is interested in doing. The department requires that the student and instructor submit a written contract (available in the English Department) detailing the expectations (description of course of study, readings, how often the student/faculty member will meet) and requirements for the completed independent study project (number length of papers) and a time-line for completion of the work. You should think of this as developing the equivalent of a detailed course syllabus/schedule, and typically involves development of a bibliography of readings.
