Internships last a minimum of eight weeks full time or sixteen weeks half time.
Most are paid. Financial assistance is available for travel to and from the internship. Interning institutions include university presses, journals and magazines, trade publishers, textbook publishers, and other publishing entities. The director of the Scholarly Publishing program must approve electives to be used toward the certificate.
