PUB 899: Publishing Internship

Students complete semester-long internships in the publishing industry, public institutions, or other publishing-adjacent positions. Internships may be completed either in Vancouver or elsewhere.

During this term, the student receives academic guidance as required from a supervisor at ´óÏó´«Ã½. Day-to-day supervision is the responsibility of a designated industry supervisor, a professional person with appropriate qualifications, appointed by ´óÏó´«Ã½.

The internship focuses on a specific project that is initiated by the student, by one or more members of the student’s supervisory committee, or by the industry supervisor’s employer. Commitment of the company or institution, the industry supervisor, and ´óÏó´«Ã½ will be formalized in letters of agreement.

Following completion of the internship, the student must submit a 2000-3000 word report that summarizes and reflects critically on their experience and the work completed. The supervisory committee will assess the student’s report on the basis of quality of work and clarity of communication.
