Directed Study

Catalog description

This course combines the theoretical knowledge that you've developed in the MSPW program with the practical application of a professionally supervised environment. It is an additional requirement of the MSPW program, which asks you to choose between completing either an internship or a directed study case project. In both cases, you will complete specific tasks expected of a writer in a professional position. If you opt for the directed study, you'll complete a semester-long case project that mimics a freelance work experience. In this scenario, the course instructor will function as your client and you'll work to complete all deliverables by the set deadlines, offering your mock client the same professional considerations you would give to a real-life client.
