Students may take more than one of these courses if space permits. Each year, in either the winter or spring break, a publishing professional is invited to campus to teach a one-week special topics course. PUB 584 Scholarly Publishing Internship Students and the program director jointly arrange an internship, usually over the summer, that will advance or clarify the student's career goals. 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.
