Graduate Communications is a mandatory course designed to help students prepare for and elevate their academic discourse to the Graduate level. Inclusive of a framework of Indigenization and decolonization, Graduate Communications focuses on fostering key skills for graduate-level study and communication, academic integrity, genre analysis, formatting styles, intercultural collaboration, and habits for lifelong learning.
Micro-internships allow students to investigate careers through short, project-based experiences while developing professional skills. This course will task students to develop the mindset of reflecting and learning from these professional experiences. Additionally, New York Tech partners with Parker-Dewey to run this program (MOU filed). Parker-Dewey does annual assessment for participating students and employers, but they do not assess student learning or provide ongoing, personalized support to students while interning. This course is to help us support participating students with professional development and will include formal orientations and reflections. It will also help us track experiential education participation across the institution. Classroom Hours- Laboratory and/or Studio Hours- Course Credits: 1-0-0
