The IAP supports numerous internship positions throughout the academic year. We welcome your internship postings and would be happy to host on-campus interviews.
IAP Fellowship Opportunities
The Industrial Affiliates Program offers graduate students in our M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. programs the opportunity to collaborate on a research project with our affiliates-Medtronic and U.S. Bank. One $2,000 fellowship will be awarded by each company for the 2008-2009 academic year. Suggested research topics are on the application, but students may also suggest new topics if they wish. Applicants must be full-time graduate students for the 2008-2009 academic year in good standing OR candidates accepted into one of the three degree programs: the M.S. in Scientific and Technical Communication, or the M.A. or Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Scientific and Technical Communication. The application deadline will be announced in spring 2008 (TBA).
A Call for Applications form will be available soon.
