Each semester, WAC supervises several internships in our writing centers. Students majoring in English, education, and other related fields are eligible to serve as WAC interns. Upon recommendation by their departments, students apply to the WAC director for internships. Those accepted enroll in English 491, The Practicum in Teaching Writing, and conduct supervised tutoring for approximately eight hours per week. Interns meet regularly with the WAC director and write a substantial paper applying their course readings in composition theory and pedagogy to their work in the center.
Internships carry three semester hours' credit.
