The practicum requirement is typically fulfilled in the junior or senior year, when students may intern at a professional workplace (for instance, a publishing company, public relations firm, law firm, newspaper, television or radio station, film production company, advertising company) or work as a teaching apprentice with a faculty member teaching a Literature Cornerstone course.
