Internships
The professional writing certificate program requires a 15-week internship. Interns will likely be hosted by local non-profits or businesses in the Vancouver/Portland area. Interns will complete the required number of on-site work hours (50 clock hours for each semester hour earned). The most common 3-credit internship requires a commitment of 10 hours/week and results in 150 total hours spent on writing projects that provide a service to the intern’s host organization. The internship provides certificate seekers an opportunity to apply their knowledge acquired in the classroom to pressing community needs.
