Intermediate and Advanced Creative Writing Classes The English department typically offers ten advanced creative writing courses in the fall and spring semesters: five advanced fiction workshops, three advanced poetry workshops, one advanced playwriting workshop, and one advanced creative nonfiction workshop. The courses are selective* and are limited to between 12 and 15 students each. In addition, the department also offers six, non-selective intermediate fiction and poetry workshops (three of each). Applications and submissions are not required for these courses; students simply may register for them at their scheduled registration time. *Applying for the Advanced Workshops: Students should submit one short story (900-1500 words), or excerpt of a longer story, for the advanced fiction workshops; a short story or play for the advanced playwriting workshop; an essay or short story for the advanced creative nonfiction workshop; or three to five poems for the advanced poetry workshops. Applications are due approximately two weeks before the fall and spring registration periods begin. Students apply in November for the spring workshops and in April for the fall workshops. Class lists for the advanced workshops are posted in the English Department and online the weekend before registration begins. IMPORTANT NOTE: Students may apply for only one Advanced Writing Workshop per semester. They must choose among fiction, poetry or playwriting and apply for one section of the chosen course. Creative Writing minor information: Four courses make up the Creative Writing minor. Creative Writing (V41.0815), or its equivalent, is the prerequisite for the advanced and intermediate classes. Three additional writing courses make up the four courses for the major or minor. Intermediate and advanced workshops are repeatable up to 12 credits. V41.0815 is not repeatable.

Morse Academic Plan The MAP program consists of four parts: the Expository Writing Program, study of foreign languages, the Foundations of Contemporary Culture (F.C.C.), and the Foundations of Scientific Inquiry (F.S.I.) Expository Writing Program (V40) 269 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10003-6687. (212) 998-8860. The Expository Writing Program (EWP) offers writing courses for students throughout the University as well as tutorial help in the Writing Center for the entire University community. All students (except those in the HEOP program) must complete Writing Workshop I and II, V40.0001, V40.0002, or the International Sequence of Courses, V40.0003, V40.0004, and V40.0009. HEOP students must complete Prose Writing I and II, V40.0005 and V40.0006. Writing Tutorial, V40.0013, provides additional work in writing. Twice a year, near the end of each semester, EWP administers the Proficiency Examination. All students must pass the examination to graduate, or, if they fail, they must enroll in and pass an additional writing course (Writing Tutorial, V40.0013) to fulfill the graduation requirement. Students must take the examination at least one year before they intend to graduate. Foundations of Contemporary Culture (V55) 269 Mercer Street, Room 806, New York, NY 10003-6687. (212) 998-8119. E-mail: [email protected]. http://www.nyu.edu/cas/map. During their first year, students normally complete a class from Conversations of the West (V55.04xx) and one from World Cultures (V55.05xx), in either order. In the sophomore year, students choose classes from Societies and the Social Sciences (V55.06xx) and from Expressive Culture (V55.07xx), again in either order. Students should complete the first-year FCC classes and the expository writing requirement before proceeding to the sophomore-level classes.

MAP Exemptions & Proficiency Examinations Some components of the MAP can be fulfilled through examination. In some programs of study, students take course work that can be substituted to satisfy a MAP component. Policies for each of the four components of the MAP are outlined below. EXPOSITORY WRITING Because writing skills can always be improved, exemptions from Expository Writing are granted only for equivalent courses taken at another college or university. FOREIGN LANGUAGE College students may fulfill the foreign language component of the MAP by presenting outstanding scores on S.A.T. II or A.P. examinations or by passing a departmental proficiency examination. For further information, consult the College bulletin, under "Placement Examinations" in the chapter "Academic Policies." For A.P. equivalencies, consult the chart in the chapter "Admissions." Exemptions: (1) College students whose secondary schooling was in a language other than English and other than a language offered in the College, or who complete the International Writing Workshop sequence (V40.0003, 0004, 0009), are exempt from foreign language. (2) Students who complete the B.S./B.E. program are also exempt. FOUNDATIONS OF CONTEMPORARY CULTURE Because of the importance the faculty place on assuring every student a core experience in the humanities and social science, there are no exemptions or substitutions for Conversations of the West or World Cultures. ***College students may satisfy Expressive Culture or Societies and the Social Sciences through completion of an approved major or minor program in the humanities or social sciences, respectively, or through substitution of approved departmental courses. Societies and the Social Sciences (V55.06xx) Completion of one of the following courses: • V14.0001, Human Society and Culture • V14.0003, Archaeology • V57.0009, U.S. History to 1865 • V57.0010, Modern America • V93.0001, Introduction to Sociology • V93.0002, Introduction to Sociology (Honors) Expressive Culture (V55.07xx) Completion of one of the following courses: • V29.0110, Tragedy • V45.0166/866, La Belle Époque • V51.0152, Introduction to German Literature

Graduation Application Procedure Students may officially graduate in September, January or May. The Commencement ceremony for all schools is held in May. Students must apply for graduation by dialing TorchTone (212) 995-4747, the Office of the University Registrar's Main Registration Phone Menu. * In order to graduate in a specific semester, you must apply for graduation within the application deadline period indicated below. It is recommended that you apply for graduation no later that the beginning of the semester in which you plan to complete all program requirements. Waiting to receive end of term comprehensive exams, thesis or final project results before you apply for graduation would result in a delay in your graduation date. If you do not successfully complete all academic requirements by the end of the semester, you must reapply for graduation for the following cycle. * COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY, SCHOOL OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES (NON-CREDIT), LEONARD N. STERN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS (GRADUATE) AND SCHOOL OF MEDICINE STUDENTS APPLY DIRECTLY AT THEIR SCHOOL. IMPORTANT: It is the student's responsibility to apply for graduation within the specified graduation application period as indicated on back:

The BA/MA Degree in English Literature The College of Arts and Science and the Graduate School of Arts and Science offer a dualdegree BA/MA program. Below is admission information regarding the program. Eligible Applicants This program is open only to NYU undergraduates who are matriculated in the College of Arts and Science (CAS). Applicants must have completed a minimum of 48 credits toward a bachelor’s degree but not more than 96 credits or six semesters, whichever comes first. The student must have a minimum 3.5 GPA for admission to, and continuation in, the program. Individual departments and programs may set higher standards. Application Procedures Students apply for admission to the BA/MA Program through the CAS Advising Center (Silver Center, 9th floor). They do not submit an application for admission to the Graduate School. All admissions advising and processing are handled by the CAS Advising Center. To apply, CAS Advising asks the student to complete a special version of the GSAS admissions application (it is labeled “Application for Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Program” and is available from the CAS Advising Center), two letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose. CAS forwards the completed application to the department or program for consideration and the department then notifies CAS of the admissions decision. The Graduate School is not involved in admissions at this time. After the student has successfully completed the undergraduate requirements, the CAS Advising Center notifies GSAS Graduate Enrollment Services (GES) that the student may be admitted to the master's program. CAS Advising forwards the original application materials to GES. The student is mailed an official letter of admission to the master's program from the Graduate School and information about the scholarship program is included. The GSAS requirement to take the GRE is waived for students in the BA/MA program. However, they must still provide GES with two official and final copies of their academic transcripts showing proof of receipt of the bachelor’s degree. Questions Questions about eligibility for, or application to, the BA/MA Program should be directed to the CAS Advising Center, 998-8130. Questions about establishing a BA/MA Program in a new department or program should be directed to the GSAS Office of the Vice Dean, 998-8030.

INTERNSHIP INFORMATION The English Department offers credit for unpaid internships in fields related to the majors in English and Dramatic Literature. You must be an English or Dramatic Literature major or minor to receive department credit. Last year, more than 70 students held internships in publishing, television and related fields of interest. Positions were in editorial, publicity and marketing. Finding an internship: Internship files and information offices exist at three levels: Departmental (English Department, 19 University Place, 5th floor); College (905 Silver Center); and University (Career Services, 5 Washington Place, has terminals for online listings of current positions). Internship Application Procedure After finding a position: Call the agency to schedule an interview. Ask what information you will need to take, and be sure to take this internship pamphlet with you. Your potential supervisor should review with you the paragraph “Internship Tasks” when framing the statement about what your responsibilities will be. Advisor Approval: English and Dramatic Literature majors must obtain their departmental advisor’s approval. You should obtain a statement of responsibilities from your potential employer to bring to your departmental advisor, and plan to meet with your advisor to discuss the potential internship. The statement should be one or two paragraphs and should make clear the components of the learning experience for you. This statement is, in effect, a contract, to eliminate future surprises. Please take this statement of responsibilities, along with your internship application, to your departmental advisor for approval. The Assistant DUGS for Internships (Professor Bryan Waterman) will review applications for minors. English minors must have completed Literary Interpretation to be eligible for internship credit; Dramatic Literature minors must have completed one term of a Dramatic Literature course to be eligible. Your advisor must approve your application and the supervisor’s statement before the end of the TorchTone drop/add period. Once approved: Bring both the application and statement of responsibilities to Kristen Elias to be enrolled. If you have to drop a course to make room for the internship, you must notify Kristen that you have done so before you can be enrolled. You may elect to register for either 2 or 4 points of credit. The number of credits does not affect the number of hours you work as an intern. It is customary to register for 2 points because your tuition covers 18 points per term. If you take a 4-point internship, putting you up to 20 points, NYU charges you for the 2 extra points of tuition beyond the 18-point flat rate Grades: You receive a grade on your transcript for your internship course, just as you do for your academic courses. The grade is based on two inputs: 1) your internship supervisor’s evaluation of your performance; and 2) a 900-1500 word report describing very concretely what you did and what you learned. These materials are due on the last Rev. 8/11/04

day of the term. At this time, you will turn in these documents to Kristen Elias (not directly to your department advisor.) It’s a good idea to keep a daily journal so your final report can be specific. Reports are kept on file in the English department. You may want to consult them for internships that you are considering. Restrictions: You can register for a maximum of eight points of internship during your undergraduate career at NYU. Internship credit counts toward your 128 points needed for graduation, but they do not count toward the requirements for the English major or minor. Internship Tasks: Essentially, when you do an English department internship, you are putting yourself in an apprentice-learning situation. The English department internships follow the guidelines developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (attached). Direction and supervision are the responsibility of the agency, not the student’s departmental advisor. The only requirement is that you explore an area that might be of possible career interest to you. The internship responsibilities should involve you in tasks that provide hands-on learning about the practical working of a profession. An internship usually will involve a range of activities from routine office work to involvement in projects that require research and writing skills. This statement of duties from a McCall’s editorial internship is typical: “The internship includes editorial research, fact checking and administrative support duties, as well as potential writing assignments.” There should be a balance of routine and nonroutine, of course; but that distinction does not correlate directly with learning and nonlearning: the ability to answer the telephone in a professional way is a learned skill. Another aspect of learning to work in an office is not at all routine: the “ability to pitch in whenever necessary” (as a posting from Seventeen magazine put it). It is this sort of attitude that will turn “potential writing assignments” into actual writing assignments. Hours must be negotiated between you and the agency. Typically, you will work 10−12 hours per week. More than 15 hours begins to sound like exploitation of free labor.

Internships and the Law The United States Department of Labor has developed six criteria to help employers determine who qualifies as a learner/trainee (intern), and, therefore, who may be unpaid. • • • •

• •

The training, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be given in a vocational school. The training is for the benefit of the student. The student does not displace a regular employee, but works under the close supervision of a regular employee or supervisor. The employer provides the training and derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the student; and on occasion, the operations may actually be impeded by the training. (If the student is receiving credit for the internship, it is considered primarily for the student’s and not the employer’s benefit.) The student is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the training period. (There is no prohibition on eventually employing the same student, however.) The employer and the student understand that the student is not entitled to wages for the time spent training (meal and travel stipends are not considered wages.)

An employer should be able to answer “yes” to at least half of the questions listed below to qualify for an unpaid internship. Is the work that you are offering an integral part of a student’s course of study? (In other words, is the student receiving academic credit for it?) Will the student receive credit for the work, or is the internship required for graduation? Does the student have to prepare a report of his/her experience and submit it to a faculty supervisor? Has the employer received a letter or some other form of written documentation from the school stating that the intern is approved/sponsored by the school as educationally relevant. Are learning objectives clearly identified? Will the student perform work that other employees also perform, with the student doing the work for the purpose of learning and not necessarily performing a task for the employer? Is the student working and providing benefit to the employer less than 50 percent of the time, and/or is the student in a shadowing/learning mode? Will the employer provide an opportunity for the student to learn a skill, process or other business function, or learn to operate a piece of equipment? Is the individual supervised by an employer’s staff member? Is clear that a job is not guaranteed upon completion of the training or completion of the student’s schooling?

ENGLISH HONORS PROGRAM THE ENGLISH HONORS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF TWO COURSES AND A COLLOQUIUM: One Junior

Honors seminar; the Senior Honors thesis; and a year-long colloquium the senior year. You should apply for admission to the Honors program when you have no more than four and no fewer than three semesters until graduation. The three Honors courses form part of the 10 courses required for the major. They may substitute for advanced electives, though not for the four core courses. See also the section “Honors Program” under Department of English in the CAS Bulletin. THE SUBJECT OF THE HONORS SEMINAR changes each semester and is decided upon by the faculty member teaching the seminar. The seminar is a small class (limited to 13) that prepares students for the senior thesis; the primary focus is on research (sometimes in local archives) and the application of critical methodologies. While writing your SENIOR HONORS THESIS, you will work individually with a member of the English department faculty. The topic of the thesis is proposed by you and approved by the faculty member who has agreed to direct the thesis. The thesis is a 45-50 page critical paper. Subject and treatment vary widely. Typically, an Honors thesis includes some close reading of a text or texts, as well as engagement with published criticism. The thesis is the single most important component of the program. Your desire to write a thesis during your senior year should be the major factor in your decision to apply for admission. The HONORS COLLOQUIUM is the one experience common to all seniors in the program. It is a works-inprogress seminar where students refine their work and participate in a larger scholarly conversation about research and criticism. Faculty guests present their own research, and guest speakers from archives and rarebooks libraries give presentations about special collections. HONORS AND STUDY ABROAD: The English department encourages its majors to study abroad. If you are

admitted to the Honors program, you will be able to work out, with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, a way of doing one of the honors courses during the semester you are studying abroad. The English Department’s “Summer in London” program offers English majors the opportunity to study British politics, creative writing, and the history of British art and architecture, in addition to British literature and drama in performance. ADMISSION to the Honors program is competitive. The Honors seminars are limited to 12 students. The major factor in admission is your performance in your English courses. In considering your application, the Director of Undergraduate Studies reviews your overall transcript and consults with your instructors. In addition, the DUGS reads the critical paper that you submit with your application to get a sense of the way you do critical analysis. APPLICATION AND GRADES: Minimal grade point average for admission to any CAS departmental honors

program is 3.2 or better. Students admitted to the English Honors program have grade point averages above that. (In the Spring 2001 semester, the average grade point average of students in the program was 3.8 ) In addition, you should have completed the four core courses by the end of the semester in which you apply. APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Complete the form on back and turn it in to Kristen Elias in the English

Department. Be sure to attach a clean copy of a paper submitted in a CAS English course with your application. The paper should demonstrate your abilities at close reading and application of critical methodology. DECISIONS will be made once final grades have been submitted for the term in which you apply. Meet with the honors advisor to discuss registration.

Applications for spring 2005 are due November 15. THE HONORS APPLICATION IS ON THE BACK OF THIS FORM

Independent Study Request Form English and Dramatic Literature Departments An independent study course is designed by the student to investigate an area or field of specialization not normally covered in the department’s regularly scheduled course offerings. Independent studies should not be undertaken solely because of difficulty fitting other classes into your schedule, nor because a course you wish to enroll in is full. If you are having trouble enrolling in a course, please see your departmental advisor for assistance. Instructions Make a research proposal to a faculty member with whom you would like to take the independent study course. You and the instructor should agree on course details, including the material to be covered; course format; sources to be used; and method of evaluation. Complete this proposal form with the assistance of your sponsoring instructor. Return the completed proposal form, with the instructor's signature, to Kristen Elias in the English Department. Forms will then be submitted to the Director of Undergraduate Studies for final approval. Once final approval has been obtained, you will be registered for the course. If your request is not approved, you will be notified as soon as possible. The approval process can take several days, so you are encouraged to plan your project well in advance of the registration period. The deadline for independent study applications is the first day of registration for the particular semester for which you are applying. Any questions about this procedure should be directed to the Undergraduate Program Administrator, Kristen Elias ([email protected] / 212.998.8803).

ENGLISH HONORS PROGRAM THE ENGLISH HONORS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF TWO COURSES AND A COLLOQUIUM: One Junior

Honors seminar; the Senior Honors thesis; and a year-long colloquium the senior year. You should apply for admission to the Honors program when you have no more than four and no fewer than three semesters until graduation. The three Honors courses form part of the 10 courses required for the major. They may substitute for advanced electives, though not for the four core courses. See also the section “Honors Program” under Department of English in the CAS Bulletin. THE SUBJECT OF THE HONORS SEMINAR changes each semester and is decided upon by the faculty member teaching the seminar. The seminar is a small class (limited to 13) that prepares students for the senior thesis; the primary focus is on research (sometimes in local archives) and the application of critical methodologies. While writing your SENIOR HONORS THESIS, you will work individually with a member of the English department faculty. The topic of the thesis is proposed by you and approved by the faculty member who has agreed to direct the thesis. The thesis is a 45-50 page critical paper. Subject and treatment vary widely. Typically, an Honors thesis includes some close reading of a text or texts, as well as engagement with published criticism. The thesis is the single most important component of the program.
