Summer Courses

Internships are commonly pursued in organizations with sustainable business management, corporate social responsibility, or cross-cultural management initiatives. They are subject to the Program Director’s approval and can be completed in a variety of institutions depending on students’ interests and initiative. The University cannot guarantee placement in an internship but will provide assistance with the internship search. Students must have completed their first semester of MA studies and should contact the Internship Office early for registration purposes.

Internships may be taken for 1 or 4 credits. Students may do more than one internship, but internship credit cannot cumulatively total more than 4 credits.

Whether a story is an imaginative transformation of life experience or an invention, the writing must be well crafted and convincing, driven not only by plot and theme but also through characterization, conflict, point of view, and sensitivity to language. Students produce and critique short stories and novel chapters while studying fiction techniques and style through examples.

In consultation with a faculty member, the student undertakes a senior research project, resulting in a 25-to 30-page paper, which is normally on a literary topic or theme in more than one literature. In certain circumstances, a student may propose a creative project in lieu of a critical paper. May be taken twice for credit.

A Senior Project is an independent study representing a Major Capstone Project that needs to be registered using the Senior Project registration form.
