ENGL 493 - Advanced Project

2020-2021 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 2-6
Two semesters of directed study leading to the production of a scholarly or creative work with an eye toward (but not requiring) eventual publication or other public dissemination of the work. To be eligible to enroll in the first semester of study, a student must submit a proposal to a faculty member describing the intended project and the student’s qualification to undertake it. In the first semester (2 credits), the student will develop a prospectus for the project, an annotated bibliography, and a plan for how the finished work will reach a wider audience. In the second semester (4 credits), the student will complete the project. Projects may be undertaken in a variety of media. Students are encouraged (but not required) to share completed born-digital scholarly projects under a Creative Commons license, and required to deposit a copy of the project, whether born-digital or intended for print, in an open-access institutional repository. Only the four credits earned in the second semester may be applied toward the degree requirements in English.

Prerequisite(s): 20 credits towards the requirements of the BA in English.
Offered: By individual arrangement
